Google is upgrading the Blogger platform and today I switched on the new Dynamic Views. With the drop down menu at the top left of this page you can play around with a number of viewing options.
Personally, I like the way how the template invites readers to go back to some of my older posts. It comes at a price though, the current template is not very flexible in terms of design. I cannot add a lot of branding, and I do not like the (centered) formatting of the individual posts. Hopefully over time, Google will bring back more options for tweaking.
On balance, I think I will stick with the new format. What do you think?
UPDATE: I reverted back to the old layout, not so much because of the look and feel, but more because some basic functionality was not working (i.e., viewing comments).

As to my CV, slide 3 on this web page probably covers it:
1. The new one wasn't very mobile friendly (using iPhone I had to move through one 'entrance' page before landing on the actual blog content)
2. How did the new layout stick to the 'one idea per slide' principle? I think it might have been useful for people visiting your blog for the first time (plenty of leads on the first page). But for as a regular visitor I preferred the old layout in which I've had the new post at first glance on the screen (no need to click on the top left box).
Yours,
Piotr

About the blog layout, I like it - clean and pleasant for the eyes. Cheers
