    Some bloggers aren't happy with the latest changes at weblogs.asp.net, me neither

    What? The really awful old look where you had tons and tons of extra stuff that you had to wade through to find something you actually might want to read? Or the list of bloggers, most of whom hadn't even blogged in months?

    Personally I love the truncated posts. I wish it was even more traditional and just displayed blurbs.

    Same feeling here. I come here because you can see the several complete posts at once, unlike my client aggregator. Now, I have to drill into each post to see the good stuff.

    Agreed, the user list stuff was pointless, but to not show the full posts on either the RSS feed or the main page is annoying to the point of turning people off of the whole site.

    I just loved the idea that the main feed was so colorfull, it was great just to look at new stuff from all the bloggers. I can't subscribe to all of them and it looked to me as a great idea to find new interesting bloggers from the main feed. I think we could have done a better list of links in the main feed by not showing bloggers that haven't blogged ofr the last 48 hours or so.

    Reading Scoble (http://radio.weblogs.com/0001011/2004/09/08.html#a8195) this seems to be an MSDN wide thing...bandwidth usage problems apparently. I'd thing that Akamaiing the RSS feed as they do the main MS site would be a little more friendly...

    Oh and something else that happend with the change, seems like I get a whole lot of double downloads on posts, for some reason it is misdating older posts. For Example you just posted I got the last 10 of your posts downloaded that I already have but they all had todays date and time stamp on them. So my agregator thought they were all new posts. Quick sort by subject and delete all the duplications but still a pain. This is happening to me all over the place but seems like a few a day and usually after somone makes a new post.

    Speak for yourself and not all MS employees. I like the new look. Half the time people write posts that aren't interesting beyond the first 500 words anyway. Now you don't have to wade through all of them.

    Good job on the new look!
