“Then, when someone wants to see any of the pages on your blog, those pages are created for them dynamically, on the fly.” Sounds familiar… The new Blogger doesn’t make users wait on rebuilding anymore, nice upgrade! (What happened to all those folks saying static was the only way to scale?) That and their other new features show a real respect and sensitivity to their users, the only thing missing is an exporter. Rebuilding is so 2004.
Please, please, please let there be an exporter.
“Say goodbye to the dreaded “Publishing”¦” spinner. Now, when you make a new post or change any of your settings, your blog is updated and changes go live immediately; you don’t have to remember to republish.”

I do not even know what that means, but it sounds like it used to be bad. I say Bye bye Blogger.com for other reasons.
That is a big deal. But I think I’ll stick with WP.
But really. Why call them “labels”? Ah, yes, Blogger was Google-ized. The next step? Bloggr.
The thing is, they can’t be doing away with rebuilding completely, because you still need to be able to publish to your host, whether it’s blogspot or your own personal FTP space. Unless they’re writing scripting code to your web site (which is unlikely since I’ve never seen any “language” requirements for blogger.com blogs), creating or modifying a post still means having to publish the static HTML files to your server, wherever it may be. I think they may have done some tweaking to the rebuilding code so that it’s faster and does less rebuilding, but I’m pretty sure it still does rebuilding in some way or another.
“Rebuilding is so 2004.” I dunno…with all the MovableType hacks I was running before the switch to WP, I think I was pretty tired of rebuilding as far back as 2003. 😉
Well Done blogger…
Yes, Rebuilding is so 2004
I’ve written a tutorial which will show you how to add labels to your old posts without loosing your PRE-BETA TEMPLATE:
