Improbulus wrote in her blog that Google is conducting a survey for users of Blogger. And I went to my dashboard and followed the link to give up my feedback. There were some questions like how long have been using blogger, how frequently you have been using it etc.
After that they asked for the features that I want to be implemented in Blogger. I thought posting my answer here so that we can discuss about the different features.
So here is my list of features that I want in Blogger (in no particular order)
- Reduce Spam
- Better support for editing posts.
- Support for classifying posts into different Categories.
- Trackback support.
- RSS Feed for comments.
- Blogger tags for displaying the total number of comments and trackbacks.
- Ability to keep track of the comments that I have posted in other Blogger blogs (you can list the comments that I have made in my dashboard).
- Email notification of other peoples comments on blogs in which I have commented.
- Ability to add an ‘about me’ page.
- Custom Index page (the first page that comes up when we type the blog url).
So guys what you say? If you feel that I have missed out some, leave me a comment I will add it up here.
It seems that one of my feature requests is answered. Google has released a Blogger for Word toolbar. I have just downloaded it and it works great. This post is posted from my Microsoft Word itself 😉
Word! pah!
I see no reason for ‘blogger tags’. Editing posts is easy to do using a web interface or application like BlogJet.
You have an about me page – your profile!
Trackback support is available through Haloscan as you know.
All Blogger needs is categories and built-in RSS support.
And, BTW, add Easier Template editing to the List! And, Tags are required. Comment Feeds are also a cool Idea.
