I don't like it either. I think I'll have to edit the CSS to change it. Hopefully that'll work. Overall Google's aesthetics are pretty decent but sometimes they really goof. The Blogger platform has recently been revamped so hopefully they'll make a few tweaks soon. Overall I like the new platform, and Blogger makes it pretty easy to have guest authors post whenever they want to. (ETA: There are alternative layouts of course, but they're not as beautiful. I'd prefer to keep the current layout but just somehow get rid of those annoying transitions.)
