Fucking New Blogger

Just noticed something, when using New Blogger some words in a post would be highlighted even tho I didn't create a link or anything.  When I switched back to Old Blogger that disappeared.  I find the highlighted words for ads annoying.  If a word is highlighted I want it to be because I put a link there not so readers will be spammed with BULLSHIT!!

 Update:  I thought the bullshit had disappeared, but after publishing this post, noticed that the words cell phone and phone still highlighted in the previous post.  I guess you can't get away from this shit.

Addendum: 5/1, After I signed into blogger this morning, the problem is back.  One says "powered by text enhance" and the other is spam and if you click on the pop-up you may have a chance to win an i-Pad.  I've noticed this when visiting other blogs recently, so it isn't just a problem with my blog.

  2. I haven't had that problem but I don't write my posts in Blogger, I write them in a word document and then copy/paste the text when I go to Blogger to do the post.

  3. I think that in the future if we want more control over how our posts look we'll have to pay for the right. I expect them to start putting ads on our sites even if we don't want them, unless we are willing to pay to not have them there.

  4. Ok,
    We are all being transitioned to this new shit whether we like it or not? So lets communicate - what are the problems and how do we defeat them?

    Yup, but if you muck around in it there's a few decent features you will discover.

    My problem is that they haven't given me a gadget to block a bitch from commenting while still making it easy for everyone else to comment, and a .45 slug doesn't work here. :-)
