Switching to the New Blogger

Can anyone who has switched to the new blogger (previously known as Blogger beta) share with me their experience?

• Was it easy or difficult?
• Did it take up a lot of your time?
• Did you lose your customisation? (My greatest fear! I hate to lose time over having to recustomise my entire blog.)
• Did you have to adjust your layout?
• Did it take you long to categorise your postings?
• Were you able to make use of the current template you were using or did you have to change to one of blogger's customized templates?
• Can you describe your switching experience?
• Which do you prefer? The new Blogger or the old.

Thank you for sharing. I have not been able to switch my blogs yet because when I tried to I got this message "Thanks for your interest in the new Blogger. Unfortunately, we cannot switch your Blogger account at this time, because one or more of your blogs cannot be moved. Please see our help article for more information." Thats annoying because I was hoping to do the switch during this quiet holiday week.
