Blogger Changes

Ugh. For some reason, I thought Google stopped supporting and improving the Blogger platform a long time ago, and it's just running old cold. Well, I went in to post about some J-pop song a minute ago and everything is different. Are they trying to revamp the platform to complete with Wordpress? I started a Wordpress blog as well and I like it more so far, except that I can't upload videos for some reason. Also Wordpress keeps spamming me with premium account emails.

The last post had a few links to Wikipedia and YouTube and it was very difficult to get those set up. Initially, I was in the wrong editor mode (HTML vs. Compose) so there wasn't even a link button. Then I tried to embed the YouTube video code manually like I did for hundreds of times before and couldn't get it to work. I have to edit the HTML code manually since my template is too narrow for the default video size. First the preview just showed the code and no video. Then I tried Compose which has an insert YouTube video option except you have to search for the video instead of just pasting in the hyperlink. Arg. Of course the search did not turn up the video I needed, even when I copied/pasted the actual video title into the search bar. I then converted the post back to HTML and it inserted a ton of <tags> that confused the platform. I had to re-paste the embed code and manually edit out all the extra tags, then go back to Compose mode to complete the edit. WTF?

Do they have too many programmers? Software companies seem to like to add "features" to their stable software platform that end up being more like a "bug" than something users want. Maybe they got requests to make the system harder to use. Sigh.

XXX

No, not the movies with Vin DIesel or porn but a song my Soulhead. They are a Japanese duo and this song also features Koda Kumi. For some reason, this song made it into my K-pop playlist. I was listening to it a few days ago and had the display on lyrics. Man, this song has pages full of lyrics in English and Japanese. I don't know how you can understand the lyrics unless you are fluent in both. The English by itself doesn't even make much sense; maybe you need to combine it with the Japanese.

Here's a YouTube video:

XXX featuring Koda Kumi - Soulhead

Lyrics that were embedded in iTunes. It's really long.
