A question for readers: Advice re: Blogger.com beta switch?

A quick question for the Blogger--savvy among you: Do you know of any problems switching from the original version to the new beta? There are some nice features I've been asking to provide (e.g., labels/categories, label feeds, and comment feeds), but I thought I'd get a heads-up first. Thanks!

(And yes, I realize it's passe using Blogger instead of running my own customized blog from matthewcornell.org, but as long as it's not getting in the way of my message, it's not a priority right now.)

Get out of your "shell" and exercise your people muscles for fun and profit

As programmers, we often have the luxury of focusing on interesting and challenging technical problems, without having to worry too much (depending on your work arrangement) about the external factors that make this kind of sheltered life possible. However, it turns out there are some big pluses to developing our people networking skills and getting out and meeting folks. This is especially true when we move out on our own (or become part of a very small team). These advantages include:

  • More business,
  • Unexpected opportunities,
  • Great product ideas and directions, and
  • Improved health and life satisfaction.
