Maybe I am just a complete moron but I HATE HATE HATE trying to post a comment to a Blogger account. What happened to the days of just posting a comment? Why do I need to have a Google/Blogger account or an OpenID account.
I wanted to give some love to someone who linked to my post about outsourcing your Blog writing. It posted my comment with a really old Blogger account I haven’t used in 2 years! When trying to change my ID it asked for a google or blogger account. What if I don’t have a Blogger or Google Account? What if I don’t want to use damn OPENID (refer to this post about my thoughts on OpenID).
I did get to post my comment on the blog but it links to a blog that has ONE post from two years ago.
WHEW. That is what I needed. A little “airing” out.
Hey Sergey Brin! Could we get a better comment function on blogger? Maybe? You would think Google could invest a couple of hours in figuring this out.
Anyway. Have a great day!

Kyle,
I agree that it’s stupid to have a blogger ID to post a comment on blogger.
You should try myOpenID.com, their site is pretty easy to use.
Once you have an OpenID account, you won’t have to sign up for a blogger account, or a whatever-account if the site in question supports OpenID. You just use your OpenID.
More and more sites are starting to use OpenID, it’s just a matter of time before you’ll need one anyway.

I agree with you. Many, many, MANY times I’ve wanted to post a comment to someone’s blog hosted on blogger and I just end up leaving because I don’t have a google ID or what have you.
I did recently get an OpenID, so I guess I can start posting no problem now. Still, it’s inconvenient for the people who really want to comment, but can’t.

I hate the commenting function on Blogger too, one of the many reasons I migrated to WordPress. I still brave it for peeps with blogger blogs but I curse it each time. LOL!

I want your help. I like your blog. Your texts are interesting. I entered here by accident and I started reading.
