New Blog Features. Don't Panic!

If you've come here only to be shocked by a blue banner don't turn around, you're at the same old S&Blog you've quickly come to love. Today, we upgraded the S&Blog to the new Blogger Beta with a few new features that we think will help you use the S&Blog much better.

On the sidebar to your right, you'll see a list of labels. From now on we'll tag each article with its section (Arts, Corrections, Editorial Posts - something from the editorial staff, like this-, Features, News, Opinions, Sports, and, maybe in the future, The Backpage). If you only want sports, only read sports. If you want opinions, read only opinions.

Furthermore, if you want to go back to articles in November, we've got a great archive section in our sidebar that allows you to browse through our previous articles in a very efficient manner.

As for the red, don't worry. It'll be back.

This blog needs more red. And a little cowbell. And the word verification is annoying; it's not like the S&Blog was being spammed.

But it's the Scarlet and Black! OK, so I see some black. How can there be no scarlet here, though? It's wrong.

Unfortunately, the new Blogger doesn't have any red templates yet. As soon as we can find or make a good, simple red template, we'll put it up. For the lack of cowbell, blame Ben Weyl.

And we were, in fact, getting a fair amount of spam. Editors had been deleting it very quickly so as not to tempt any of our readers with cheap Viagra or free sexy webcams. Word verification has cut down on that a bit.
