Changes in Blogger?

The newest release of Blogger seems to incl. a commenting service, post pages (every post gets its own HTML page in the archive, with permalinks pointing to these pages, rather than the anchors on the same page).

My take on the features (from what I have seen):

* Comment blocking probably a blanket service. So you can't block a particular person from commenting. And I can't just understand this concept of "only members comment" feature.

* The link to the comments in each post is not visible in the main page, unless someone posts a comment. So the first person....blah blah blah blah blah....only with the first poster.

Rejoinder: Well, I muffed up the code on this one. I did not have all the lines of code that it required. Now it works perfect! And notice the nifty button that I have used to replace the script generated text link! I customised the button with this awesome interface to a cool button maker application!

* Titling of posts should be carefully done. Why can't just incl. another feature like "Page Title" or something that the user enters while posting (just like they incl. the title bar). That way user can decide how to name his pages and also do it in a concise manner.

* The archived post pages open on the same template that we use for the main page. So if your main template... blah blah blah blah blah......any of the trappings of the main page?

* The archived post pages have screwed up the archive scripts...... blah blah blah blah blah.... pull down menu or the calendar like links.

Rejoinder: Ok, I shot my mouth off. Blogger's Help Desk has finally compiled a comprehensive list of available template tags and explained them quite a bit on this page. For making your post pages load faster and make sure, use the conditiontal tags provided by Blogger. You can actually prevent javascript/images etc. which you need ONLY on your main page, from appearing on the Post Pages and the Archive Pages. Cool or what?
