Here's something this blog host needs; an ability to zoom in on the most recent comments, irrespective of where they are, so one can comment on them. If this facility is present, it needs to be more discoverable.
As it is, one goes in and moderates unmoderated comments, but having done so, they vanish from easy navigation so one can't follow them up to reply.
Oh... some more general "CQspace" news; I intend to focus more on maintenance OS issues and development (with a small "d", i.e. how to make your own projects by tailoring existing mOSs) and will do that at what is currently called "CQuirke's Linux Curve", as that blog host appears to have the best oomph to carry the blog-to-website transition I am after. As part of that focus, I'll still be learning Linux and blogging that as I go, but it will be a subset of that site as a whole.

agreed... i have things set up so that blogger emails me about new comments awaiting moderation and i find that if it weren't for the email's subject, i'd have a really hard time figuring out exactly which blog post the person was commenting on in order to follow it up with my response... the email doesn't exactly make it easy (since there's no link to the original blog post) but at least i don't have to perform a search to find it...
now that i think of it though, i think there's a feed containing all comments (irrespective of what blog posts they're in response to) which may allow navigation to an area that can allow easy response... i should try it out and see if i can't make my own life easier that way...
just to make your life a little easier too, the comments feed for your blog is http://cquirke.blogspot.com/feeds/comments/full
Thanks, Kurt!
Have you seen the WordPress blog host? Whereas it appears as if Blogger has pretty much run out of development steam, www.wordpress.com are offering a stronger feature set that makes non-timeline access to material a lot easier. There's also the facility to do pages outside the blog timeline.
sorry for the late response, somehow your reply must have escaped my attention...
i haven't actually looked at other publishing platforms from the perspective of a publisher, only a user/consumer...
as a publisher i haven't had need for anything more than what blogger gives but i have very simple needs... actually, that's not true - i've looked into trackbacks before and can't seem to find a way to make blogger do it... it just hasn't been important enough to me so far to prompt me to change hosts...
as a user i find most platforms are ok, though the microsoft one is a notable exception...
