Blogger Listens to Bloggers

If you use the blogging service, Blogger, which is owned by Google, you may have found it harder to leave comments and respond to your favorite blogs lately due to them removing the ability for guests to comment and making you sign in with an OpenID. This created many problems, as some people were not able to comment, or commented much less than before. After a week using this, they have announced that unregistered users can now provide an auto-linked URL and they have also said header images will not be cropped vertically. Maybe they should do tests in the ‘Blogger in Draft’ area so that they could see what other people thought of the idea instead of completely removing it and putting in a whole new concept.
