Comments on Blogger

Perhaps the most anticipated feature to be added to Blogger is the ability for people to comment on your blog entries. The lack of any form of a commenting system in Blogger has long been one of its biggest weaknesses. Unfortunately, the Blogger implementation of a comments system is not as nice as it could be.

There are three options available to a Blogger site owner when it comes to comments. The default option keeps Blogger in line with LiveJournal and Xanga, and will only allow registered members of Blogger to post comments at Blogger run sites. The second option is to allow anyone in the world to post comments, but all those comments are made under the name “anonymous”. There is no option for users to identify themselves unless they are Blogger users. The last option is to only let members of the Blog post comments.

With all the fuss over TypeKey, it is funny to see that Blogger can come out with an overly restrictive commenting system and get little to no flack about it. I suspect the reason that Blogger hasn’t come under fire for its restrictive commenting system is that most bloggers who would have an opinion on something like this use Moveable Type.

So to sum up. Blogger will only let you comment on a post in their system in one of two ways: Anonymously, or using your Blogger account name. If you don't have a Blogger account, you can not make comments that are no anonymous. Now, you could simply sign your messages in the body of your comment, but this seems like a lame solution. Instead, a better solution would be to simply make a Blogger page. Shima has a LiveJournal page and a Blogger page just for this purpose. She is so smart.
