Out of the loop

I feel out of the loop lately. I switched to the new blogger beta so I could make changes to my blog. Well, now that I have it, it doesn't allow me to leave comments on other blogs who do not also have blogger beta. It gives me an error message every time I try and tells me that "blogger is working on updating the beta version and soon you will be able to leave comments". So in the meantime I feel like I can't even keep in touch with those who I don't get to talk to very much. Oh well! It is a gloomy cloudy day here today. It must have compelled me to vent just a little.
