Yay and Yuck!!!

May 9th, 2004

My favorite tool to come out of the new Blogger upgrade is that each post creates a separate page. This is a feature that I have wanted for a long time in Blogger (it has long been a staple in MovableType, and you can create stories in Radio, which has separate pages). So, you’ll notice that my permalinks will bring you to a separate page for each post. Yay!!

They have also implemented a comments feature, which I will not utilize, because I can’t get an RSS (or ATOM) feed for them. They really need to implement that (or someone needs to write a quick hack). Or even an e-mail that someone has commented will do. Plus, the comments are hosted at Blogger.com, even for “externally-published blogs”. Yuck!!!

I also created a profile, which is a great way for librarians who use Blogger to market themselves. Maybe include a list of articles, presentations, etc. I have to work on mine a bit more, but you get the idea. Props to Blogger for including IM accounts in the profile. Smart move. Also, within the profile, I have checked “Museum/Libraries” as my industry. So, here’s the current list, which should grow within the next few days. I would love a feed for new entries to this industry section.
