It's nice to see Evan getting in WYSIWYG editing in Blogger (it seems it's someone named Massless who did the work.) Let's hope that ALL Google products features such a thing.

Since I've recently switched to Moveable Type - I've gone backwards in my "ease-of-authoring" experience. Does ecto work on a PC? Are there other alternatives that can get me WYSIWYG editing?

And that includes the ability to simply copy text w/links and paste. This is really hassling me and slowing up mky blogging process.

HELP!

Google Blogger Comment Rant

Google Blogger Comment Rant 05/15/2004 09:38 PM

Just now I found out that users commenters to get a Google Blogger account before they can post comments to blogs hosted by Google Blogger.

This makes no sense.I wouldn't mind if they just required the commenter to register themselves and made creation of a blog optional.  Yes, one could just create one and ignore it but it's irritating to be forced into creating and abandoning something like a blog just so I can post comments.

The right way to grow membership is by increasing the quality of service for members (i.e. convenience), not by telling blog readers to either join or go away.  Maybe Evan or Jason can explain why.

Update:

It turns out that this was caused by a preference setting.  Now it makes sense although I sure hope this was not the default setting.  Evan and Jason, nevermind.
