Am I dense or someone please explain?

I understand Blogger's implementing upgrades (i.e. tags, font selection, etc.) and that's a good thing because most blogging software has the ability to tag entries.

What I do not understand is am I going to have to leave this blog dead in the water to upgrade to the new changes? Upon signing in I am asked if I wish to create a new blog and use the newest features.

I hope I'm wrong because I can't imagine not having tags in my future entries unless I start a new blog. That would be a loss and make me stay with what I have.

Insight anyone?

Random Ten
10 songs that sum up your weekend...or were on your weekend playlist...and one picture that relates back. (oh, and if you feel like it, tell us why you picked the songs you did)

I tease Boo unmercifully about the sixties and bubble gum music. The truth is some of the best music was created in that era and many rock legends thankfully, left their legacy for us. I owe a lot to the sixties and that's the truth!

These were heard as we drove to our play/musical. Boo was in charge of the radio!
~ jackson five never can say goodbye (Bouncing on my bed with an imaginary mic in hand singing my heart out!)
~ the human league don't you want me (Partying with friends and screaming this refrain.)
~ roy orbison pretty woman
~ the beatles eight days a week (Flashback of my sisters singing and dancing with music blaring.)
~ chi lites have you seen her

As we waited for the performance to begin, this guy was scrolling his notebook computer like crazy as he handpicked the playlist. The closest we got to contemporary was the seventies.
~ tom jones it's not unusual (Pictured my mom dancing and smiling as she vacuumed.)
~ three dog night joy to the world
~ jerry butler western union man
~ johnny nash i can see clearly now
~ frank sinatra fly me to the moon (Thought of FIL)

Take Me Back Tuesday
Blogdrive was deader than spam yesterday. Many apologies...so Take Me Back Tuesday is a Wayback Wednesday today. And to carry on with the Top 5's theme....we're still CD shopping ...

Do you buy just released CDs in the store or preorder them online? I never pre-order anything because I know that Target, Circuit City, Wal*Mart and Fry's will compete for the lowest advertised price. I'm thrifty and I'd rather wait and pay less than be first to have something! LOL

Do you remember a particular CD that was extremely hard to find when it had been recently released? Okay this is going back to the early nineties when the Beatles catalog was released on CD. Audiophiles were going nuts for the then new compact disc format and I couldn't find The Beatles anywhere.

To what extent will you go to buy a CD that you just have to have? At this time, I won't. I just wait. Rare is the artist who does something different with each release. Most have become very formulaic, almost like Rocky 36.

Have you ever bought a CD on a whim, without knowing the artist, just because you found something pleasing about the album art or that you've only heard one track. Did you end up discovering a new artist, or did the CD find it's way into a Used CD store or the back of your closet? I have bought a new artist based on cover art and the result was bad. So bad, I never consider taking them to the bargain bin at my local Penny Lane or putting them on LaLa. Hmmm, this may be a holiday weekend project.

Have you ever purchased a download just because you couldn't find a song any other way? Not yet but I'm so getting there. I need to find a credit card with a minimum limit of oh, I dunno, $300 or less and then I'll use it for online music sales.

There's been buzz about the Russian site that sells entire albums for $.99 placing erroneous charges on folks' credit cards. I'm not surprised since there's a lot of organized crime, identity theft and hacking in that country.

This was an awesome Music Memoirs!
