More on Blogger 'Magazine View'

A couple of minor points have arisen now that I have had chance to spend a little time cruising around my own blog in Magazine format (see the previous blog).
  1. Scrolling down through pages is a little creaky, implying slow downloading that might be a problem for mobile platforms: all the more reason to retain the normal template as a landing page for external links.
  2. Magazine View does not seem to be able to handle clusters of pics arranged side by side: best to align pictures vertically.
  3. Magazine View places content on a white background. Tinted highlights, for emphasis or hyperlinks, should be chosen for their legibility on both the normal design template and on a white ground. I have changed my colour code for internal links from yellow to purple for this reason.

  1. Agree, Barrie -- It all looks rather like an experimental site just now. My blog is very big -- and it takes ages to load. It doesn't seem to load the whole content of the site onto your computer, but keeps it on the server -- so everything becomes slow, especially for those of us who have creaky broadband. Maybe they'll get there -- in principle, I quite like it....
