Oh sweet Jesus, finally.

Blogger has just rolled out several functionality upgrades in draft mode tonight. The editor got updated and looks a little nicer, you can now export and import blogs and blog posts, there are now webmaster tools built-in, you can have star ratings on posts (yawn), but most importantly, you can finally make it so people can leave comments under a post without being directed to another page to do so!

I know, I know, I should have upgraded to something like Disqus long ago, but I don’t have too much time to tinker with things these days. I still might do that, but I’m going to give these new Blogger comments a shot this weekend. I did a brief test this afternoon and it worked great, but I have too many customizations running on my template so it screwed up the look of the site.

People hate on Blogger, but I’m still fairly happy with it. I love WordPress too, use it for work, I just set up ParisLemon back in 2004 on Blogger and so it feels like home to me. My biggest complaint has always been the comments thing, now that’s fixed.

Me <– Happy.
