1. Table for Converting Blogger Classic to New Blogger

    body

    I have added a lot of new tags and some corrections to the table.

    A few people have asked for something like this. A table of Blogger Classic template tags and their new equivalent. This is not entirely possible because it is not a 1:1 relationship, but I will do my best. This is a post for those who were somewhat literate in the old Blogger and want to upgrade. Another post to check out would be Johan's original post. Great stuff.

    If you have a template tag from Blogger Classic that you don't see here, post it in a comment and I'll try to add it. This is a work in progress.

    For how to use this syntax inside tag attributes, please see Johan at Ecmanaut. I would actually recommend that you read that whole post.
