Just to keep things going - here's a poem from TS Eliot for this day of Epiphany The Journey Of The Magi A cold coming we had of it, Just the worst time of the year For a journey, and such a long journey: The ways deep and the weather sharp, The very dead of winter.'

Is there a way of searching your 'tags' or labels as blogger seems to call them?

With regards to beta, i think its been rolled out quite quickly now, on the right hand side of your dashboard page there should be an option to upgrade/sidewardsgrade or whatever to beta, which will prompt you to open a google account if you don't already have one, or to log in if you do.
The drawback is once on beta you can't comment on other blogspot blogs which aren't beta - hence no recent comments from me at http://chrisiddon.blogspot.com (well the least i could do is put your address into circulation!)
Cheers
