Why I'm Moving Back to MT as Soon as Possible, or At Least Buying Stock in Haloscan

Well, not really. But there's something on blogger that's really irritating. When you comment through blogger, the name of the commentor is a link. But it's not a link to the web page (most likely, a blog) of the person, but rather a link to their Blogger profile. What a pain in the ass. So every time I want to go to the blog of the person who commented, I have to take an additional step. Plus, if you care about who is coming to your site (or, at least, from where they came), and use Sitemeter, or some other counting system, you're going to see a lot of referrals from your own Blogger profile, but not from the comment you made. You can't tell, therefore, whether someone read your comment on X site, and liked it, and wanted to read more, or not.

Plus, if someone has more than one blog, you have to decide which one they're updating.

Of course, you can use this very argument as proof that our desire for instant gratification has reached critical mass. I don't even want to spend the time going through one more click. Not even one more. I need it now! But I still don't like it.

Haloscan is a little better for that. It separates the "mail to" from the "homepage." Of course, with Movable Type, and your own domain hosting, you get to use Captcha with comments, which is pretty friggin' cool, if you ask me. Of course, I'm a geek, so there's that, then.
