Blogger.com suggestions
- Messing with carefully crafted ascii-art wrapped in PRE tags is lame-as-microsoft. Keep yr mitts off!
- after you click 'publish post' you get a page with TWO 'view blog' links, neither of which shows just the one post-- this makes it hard to link it from delicious, and it's problematic if you keep extra (postdated) 'floater' posts always at the top
- Authors have a lovely list-view, filterable by tags. Let visitors see something comparable, too. (And let them choose most-recent-first or -last.)
- Offer a tag-cloud page. Let authors customise the 'tagportal' page that each tag in the cloud links to, writing a guided overview instead of just listing the tagged posts.
- Add a button next to 'Post time and date' that resets it to current date/time.
- As the author adds tags, pop up a list of other articles with each tag, and let the author check off which ones are most closely related, to be linked in a 'related articles' list at the bottom of the post.
- Let some posts be designated 'floaters' so they stay on top on the homepage (not in the feed, though).
- Let each blog automatically spawn a GoogleGroup, and each post to the blog spawn a (potential) thread on GgGroups where comments can be posted.
- Offer an automatic link-maintenance service where links within posts are monitored for linkrot, and substitutes offered (via Wayback, if nothing else, or save a cluster of search-keywords that will find similar pages).
- Start compiling a library of standard post-types (cf microformats?) like reviews, memoirs, lists of favorites, etc. Automatically maintain an index-page for these. (In general, support more structure in the archives.)
- Integrate a del.icio.us-alike database of bookmarks. [more]
- Merge full GooglePageCreator functionality.
- Maintain version-histories for each page, and traffic stats.
- Let some content be designated for-friends-only.
- Let some pages be opened as wikis, for-friends-only or for-all.
