Thoughts on Blogger so far

Ok, I just thought I would post a few thoughts on my experiece with Blogger so far. I've been on for about a week, and I would have to say that overall there isn't a whole lot positive or negative about my experience. There are, however, some things I'd like to see improved.

First, I'd like for there to be some way to sign up for RSS feed or something that allows my readers to know when a comment or a follow up to a comment is made. I have seen this on Baldman's site so I assume it is something that WordPress allows. Guess it spoils me. As it stands, you have to check a blog every few moments if you want keep up to date on comment thread. Bummer.

Second, I wish there was a way to network here. Not that I have a real theme I can state which would draw readers, but I feel like I'm just posting to my few friends. Nothing wrong with that, I like having them here, but I would like to make new friends. I wish I was able to expand my readership somehow.

Third, I wish there was a way to edit comments. I found a typo in a comment once, but after it is posted it's stuck that way. I think I have one blog where I had to make three comments just to get one right. I'm not the world's best editor, but I do try and get things right when I see it.

That's all I have for now. Hey, for free, that's not a big list of wishes. Maybe I'll make the plunge and start paying for a site someday...

Comments:
The "Subscribe to Comments" is a Wordpress plugin and a fantastic one at that. I'm getting so used to it, that I'm forgetting to check back on non-WP blogs! (I hope I remember to come back here soon for any reply.)

Be patient, grasshopper. Readers take time. You can help the process along by. including your URL when you comment elsewhere; linking to others; adding Technorati tags (they're a blog search engine of sorts); spamming everyone in your personal email address book.

Finally, I would have thought you could edit any comment on your own blog. Go figure. (Editing your comments left on another persons blog is a different story.)
 
You mean that I have to read and comment on other's blogs to get comments here? I have put my URL on your blog, isn't that enough? Geesh, I didn't know I was going to have to put effort into this...

I know of Technorati, but I don't know how to get the tags to work. I'll have to look into that.

I would have thought I could edit my, or even your comments, but I can't. Oh, I guess I can trash it if I don't want it, but that's all. Strange...
 
Not being able to edit is weird. Seems like a pretty basic function for Blogger to be missing.

@ tracking comments left elsewhere, check out (http://co.mments.com/). I haven't used it, but it might be what you're looking for.
 
Post something really offensive, and trolls will come out of the woodwork to flame you via your blog.
 
Enigma, I thought you were an offensive troll...

I'm not sure that I want that kind of press, although I'm sure you are correct.
