Blogger Dynamic View and gadgets

I'm not sure if any of you bloggers have tried the new dynamic view introduced by blogger?
Just had a try this morning and they are amazing! Much quicker to navigate and they look very fresh and clean.

Unfortunately I will not be using them yet,  the only reason for this is because there is no support for our gadgets/widgets etc although Blogger say that they are working on this now.
There also seems to be no support for language translation as yet.

Warning :  If you do apply the new dynamic view to your blogger it will loose all your gadgets and header, this can be easily remedied by clicking on return to previous template on the template design menu at the top.

Here is a video of the new look.

  2. I tried the dynamics view on my inspirational blog where I mostly write and find it's great for that! However, my craft blog has been left as is for the same reasons you mention. Also, with the dynamic view people can only subscribe, and not 'follow.'

    People are always hesitant to try something new, so it's nice when people like you will try it and give them a heads up! :)

  3. I like it a lot too, but as you said, no widget/sidebar etc. So it will be without me for the time being
