Blogger comments still suck, but at least they're back to letting you post without a blogger ID. And for what it's worth, there are some good blogs on the platform, and it's nice to be able to comment without succumbing to being a Google slave.

Blogger is well past its sell-by date. Don’t get me started on the number of comments those Blogger forms have eaten!

Make it a closed community, attempt to keep people within Blogger. Weird. I read about your B2E perversion ;-) I think it's just a case of self hosted & self-installed, whaterver the platform, is the best way for all bloggers. No way to transfer them Michael? It's really going to make building a worthwhile Blogger community difficult.

A link from a Blogger comments page is not worth the bytes wasted on it. Nobody in their right mind uses comments for SEO purposes, especially on Blogger.com. I think the reason they removed URLs is different. Also what were they thinking? A link from a Blogger comments page is not worth the bytes wasted on it.

I'm urging people to give up Blogger. I've never used Blogger myself. As for blog software, I use b2evolution myself, not WordPress. I used to use WP initially, but then converted it to b2evolution using an importer script I wrote myself. ;) It’s a bloody annoying nuisance as I wrote in my latest post as well.

I have a couple Blogger blogs that I make a few hundred bucks a month with in adsense--no big deal, really, and comments aren't a big thing on them. But still, this sucks.

This just kills the remaining chance that I'll make a comment. There are a lot of people like me, so anyone who has a Blogger blog - it's time to move, as Chris says.

At these times I struggle to visit and comment and as you say, what's the point of the nickname bit? So if anyone thinks I've ignored them by not commenting back, it's because I can't. :evil: I'm glad you posted about this as I thought I must have broken it!
