@Ian Kennedy
Yeah, this post is a little old and at the time they didn't have the option to choose the old one.

Thanks!

The old widget code is there via a link to "Looking for the old-school Recent Reader widget? Find it here." up at the top of the page behind your blog community's link for "widgets"

I don't think this would be a problem if MyBlogLog still offered the old style widget. I think they will lose users because of this design blunder.

I also don't like it and haven't yet chosen to use it on my blog. Not one of the colour choices would look right on my blog and as you say - ugly and clunky.

Lets hope it becomes more customizable very soon!

Sorry you don't like the new blog - oh well, different strokes. . .

If the flyouts annoy, you can disable them on the configuration page by selecting "none" on the Flyout orientation dropdown.

Also, the old widget is still there for those that want to customize the CSS. Look for the link in the red box on the top of the widget configuration page.

FYI, we'll be adding instructions in the near future on how you can customize this new widget too.
