This is talking about “Blogger”:http://blogger.com the site, not blogger the peoples.

I really really hate it when I’m “asked to log-in”:http://www.blogger.com/add-comment.d before leaving comments on Blogger-driven sites. They introduced the commenting features literally years after other systems, yet the end-product is so disappointingly backward and user-unfriendly.
* Leaving comments anonymously is optional, it should be the other way around.
* For whatever reasons, it took a while before the comments appear on blogs.
* No trackback, still.

What have the developer been doing? Adding “buttons”:http://www.evhead.com/2004/07/blogger-quick-edit-links-aka-front-end.asp here and there. Blogger was slow pre-google-takeover, it is even slower now in terms of development.

“Baba”:http://babasadventures.blogspot.com/ “switched”:http://babasadventures.blogspot.com/2004/07/bleurgh.html to “Haloscan”:http://www.haloscan.com/ a while back, and I would recommen that to anyone, anywhere, using Blogger. I’m not going to list the features here, but do check it out. It’s pretty neat.
