Some of mine are:
1. Give me a freakin' Dashboard link right on the main nav bar!!! Ever since it has been removed I have longed for it back. Now you have to click New Post or Design and back into the Overview. It is Freakin' ridiculous! There isn't even a word Dashboard anymore.
2. I have just spent 3 hours. 3. god. damn. hours. Trying to get a draft post to load. No chance. I have 12 drafts and none will load. I just get a blank white screen staring stupidly at me staring stupidly at it.
3. I tried to upload my own photo as a background on another blog and even after resizing it and making sure it was under 300k...30 minutes it later I still keep getting an error message stating there were "internal errors and could not complete" or some such bullshit. I am losing my mind!!!
4. Navigating around inside blogger must be what a moth goes through trying to get out of a cocoon. You go here, nope, not where I meant to go...here, nope wrong again...repeat until insanity sets in.
I sent a long diatribe as feedback to Blogger. I never heard a peep or so much as "your feedback has been received and is being reviewed". Was there a unanimous vote by the group of monkeys posing as programmers that this was a good piece of
I think this sterile, unuser friendly, crapfest should return to its former self. If anyone out there has figured out how to work this with some degree of competence please let me know. I may be a moron.
I may not have heard from Blogger due to the expletive laced tirade and death threats I sent in my feedback...at least I have that. Bastards!
Let me hear from you, fellow Blogger bloggers.
I posted this after reading and listening to some of Alex's Metal Mix but I doubt that had anything to do with my state of mind. Rob Zombie usually mellows me out.

Metal always mellows me out...
I haven't tried the new dashboard yet. I'm almost afraid to try...
Alex sent me.
You are one up on me. I couldn't even find a place to complain.
Totally going with number one...tees me off every time. I have considered going to Word Press but, from what I see, it is even worse.
So we remain, you and I and millions like us. At least we know we are not suffering alone.
I don't care for it but I've got it figured out, if you have any questions, hit me up and I'll try and answer them.
I don't care for the fact that the post editor removed the scroll bar. That's just a pain. As is the lack of separate scrolling for the reader in the dash.
They're trying to make it look and feel like google reader/wordpress/I suspect google+ and it's really rough as a result.
I hope they get around to making it work better. I've had some friends who have already quit blogging as a result of it not working at all for them.
I don't know where to begin because my computer terminology is limited to curse words. Sorry, Chuck. I've been having unresolvable probs with blogger for months. It's affecting my following, motivation to post, etc. I've inquired for help many times, and have been met with rude/patronizing comments in response. I haven't tolerated the rudeness, so they stopped responding to me. Otherwise, they clearly don't care that more and more folks are going to Word Press. They're rolling in dough at google, and we're not an asset to them, so what do they care? Anyway, I feel your pain.

Alex, Gail, TS, Robyn: I have reverted to the original Blogger and got out of the Blogger In Draft. My sanity has returned and I am a little calmer. I will continue to vent my ire back at the Blogger-nazis until we have something resembling a logical human thought process and not a pile of steaming crapola1
I don't know how and I don't know why, but mine seems to be working just fine right now!
Sorry you're having all the problems...
If you are serious about blogging, I would seriously recommend registering your own domain and hosting your own Wordpress based site. It's about $10 a year to register a domain, and $5 a month for hosting with a company like POWWEB, where you can easily host 10 or more domains under 1 account, should you decide to register more.
Wordpress is free, and you can add so many plugins, not just Adsense and Amazon. It's easy to recoup the cost of hosting.
Have you tried going back to the 'old style version'? I'd try that. For me, the dashboard has given me no problems. But I seem to be using the other editing feature...where I do my own html instead of relying on Blogger's wysiwyg style.
STILT WALKER?
Have a happy Sunday.
Well, dagnabbit...I just now read your own response comment above. Shoulda had a V8. Sorry then, my comment previously should be null and void since you figured out what to do alread.
