Dynamic Views

Blogger has a new format called dynamic views.  I noticed it yesterday on Julie Wy's blog, So and Sew. asked her about it and started playing around with it today.

It allows the owner of the blog to pick a default view and the reader to switch between the set of views--if you try these links, you can see what our blog could look like, using the various views--note that I have not made ANY changes ... yet:

Classic
Flipcard
Magazine
Mosaic
Sidebar
Snapshot
Timeslide

I like how some of these views show you a LOT of block images on one page. 

A couple things you'll notice disappears in these views: all the information in the sidebars ... disappears and our Block Lotto banner. If I make the switch to using dynamic views, I will move a lot of the information now in the sidebars to PAGES.

What do you think?  If you like the dynamic views, which is your favorite? 


If you have a blog on Blogspot and want to know about how to add this feature to your blog, go to help and search for Dynamic Views.  Here's one article that describes how to add them.

Only the name has changed ...

This blog has served a couple purposes over time, the last of which is a place to blog quilt block and project patterns in a place that makes them easy to find  . . .  instead of mixing it up with everything else I blog about on my personal blog, sophie junction.

As the functionality of blogger expands, I am considering the possibility combining the two. In the meantime, linking them through their names seems a logical first step.

FYI, I also want to create printable/downloadable versions of the existing and future patterns, because I like to download and save things . . .  and I know I'm not alone.

Stay tuned ;-)
