I feel like slapping somebdy at blogspot!

Blogspot used to have a nice feature where you could choose your nickname and link it to your web site, blog, whatever.  Then they changed it for some reason and just let you put your nickname with no link.  So I was using Nick Norelli as my nickname and signing all my comments with Nick linking to my wordpress blog.  Sometimes this got annoying so I’d just sign on under my google/blogger account but that leads back to my old blogspot blog which has to be followed back here.  I know, I know… You’re beginning to see why I want to slap somebody… But now they have this feature that you think would be awesome.  Now you can sign on under your wordpress blog but the problem is now my nickname appears as rdtwot instead of Nick Norelli!  I don’t know why but I much rather prefer having my name associated with my comments.  I suppose I could go back to signing all the comments with Nick but that defeats the whole purpose of this new feature.  I don’t know… it’s wholly frustrating and now you can see why all the cool kids are switching over the WordPress…

Pray for me!

Blogger is certainly not on my good side today. Someone broke something over there with the end result that my glorious header image was drastically cropped and thrown our of whack. I had to remove it, in the end. They better fix it soon, or God help me, I’m really going to WordPress! (Except that they annoy me a little more, but the header image is a deal breaker.)

I was wondering what was up with that… I did notice the cropped header.

So the moral of the story is to choose a url that reflects my personal name rather than the name of the blog itself? I only have a couple weeks left to get this sorted out.

You know what… That actually makes sense… So yeah, that is the moral of the story… You are forever indebted to my short temper and constant urges to smack folks… Don’t worry… I just got like 20 review books in the last couple of weeks so you can keep the freebie ;)

Does wordpress have a feature to be notified of comments like blogger does?

Yeah. I get emails for every comment that someone leaves. If it’s their first time then I have to moderate it and either approve or delete it. But there’s no feature to notify the commentator by email when someone posts a follow up comment like blogger has.

Blogger 1, WordPress 0
