The New Blogger Calendar

Is someone asleep at the wheel at Blogger? 

Above you see pictured the calendar as it's been known for thousands of years: The first day of the week is Sunday.

From BibleGateway.com:

1. Matthew 28:1
   [ Jesus Has Risen ] After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.
   Matthew 28:1-3 (in Context) Matthew 28 (Whole Chapter)
2. Mark 16:2
   Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb
   Mark 16:1-3 (in Context) Mark 16 (Whole Chapter)
3. Mark 16:9
   [The earliest manuscripts and some other ancient witnesses do not have verses 9–20.] When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had driven seven demons.
   Mark 16:8-10 (in Context) Mark 16 (Whole Chapter)
4. Luke 24:1
   [ Jesus Has Risen ] On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb.
   Luke 24:1-3 (in Context) Luke 24 (Whole Chapter)
5. John 20:1
   [ The Empty Tomb ] Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance.
   John 20:1-3 (in Context) John 20 (Whole Chapter)
6. John 20:19
   [ Jesus Appears to His Disciples ] On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!”
   John 20:18-20 (in Context) John 20 (Whole Chapter)

 Anyway, you get the idea. The Sabbath was the Seventh Day and Sunday was the 'first day of the week.'

 In fact, I did a Google image search for 'calendar' and the first many, many entries that showed up show the week running Sunday through Saturday.

Even my laptop calendar, down in the right-hand corner of my monitor, to which I refer many times as I'm scheduling blog posts, is like the one above, in that it runs Sunday through Saturday.

So what do you suppose the Blogger people were THINKING when they put the new calendar on the new BLOGGER DASHBOARD for us bloggers to schedule our posts. Their new calendar is like the one below:

What??!!

I'm sure that I'm not the only one who has experienced scheduling a post only to have it show up on the wrong day because we're used to a calendar that has Sunday as the first day of the week.

I suppose the next thing we'll see clocks that have 1 o'clock (instead of 12 o'clock) at the top. It would make as much sense.

And with the new Blogger platform, it takes about 5 attempts at posting a photo, rather than one simple click. Just sayin.'

Please stop fixing things that ain't broke!

Grrrrrr.
