Arseholes.
I have just spent the last 2 hours visiting some of your blogs. But my speed was hindered by the fact that fucking Blogger has changed the commenting rules.
Bastards.
When I visit your blog I want you to know that it was me. Some of you know me as Kelley, some as Magnetobold. So when I go to your blog you just need to click on the name to see ‘who the fuck is Kelley?’ and realise it is that mad Magnetobold chick without the Christmas scented nether regions.
But you can’t now can you.
Cause fucking Blogger changed the rules. So I have to manually add my blog addy, instead of just typing ‘H’ and it comes up.
Rat-fuck-son-of-a-bitch.
It is pissing me off no end. But there is a solution!!!! Yay for solutions!!!!
After chatting to Meg and Ree and posting to the WordPress forums I can give you Blogger bloggers a solution to stop me (and other commenters, cause they might be important to you..) getting my knickers in a knot.
Meg the amazing pointed me to this post where people were discussing the problem.
Ree uses this commenting form,
It is Haloscan. And the added bonus is commenters need to provide an email addy (like with WordPress that is never revealed to anyone but the blogger) so you can privately contact someone if need be, or if you prefer. IT ROCKS!!
So come on guys, stop Blogger from taking the option of linking to blogs that are not Blogger and also trying to get us all to register blogger blogs and check out Haloscan.
Or come over to WordPress

I just had a look at Haloscan. I can see the site, but none of the internal links like Learn More are working. I tried!

Plus I don’t want to lose all my previous comments.
Hmm. I may well end up going with Haloscan since Blogger is being a biatch.

WordPress Rocks! I really don’t care for blogger at all!

Ok. Kelley I wondered why you had added your http at the bottom of your comment to me.. I have you on a rss feed so I don’t normally click your name.
I clicked on Kelley..Nada nuffink nil.
Ok as you know I am technically challenged So I will wait until I see Veronica.
cheers Kim..

I have a blogger account which I’ve had for a while since I started on it, so I just use that, but it’s annoying because I used to use the “name and url” thing.
Let’s kick blogger in the nuts. Hopefully this is the final straw for those still hanging onto their blogspots, to come across to wordpress!

LOL – I find wordpress too confusing!!! I have a wordpress blog AND a blogger blog. Sadly, it’s the blogger one you need the commenty thingy for.
BUT, things might be changing soon…..mmmmmm…..some changes are afoot (maybe….waiting, waiting, waiting for a couple of things to fall into place….) So, I won’t rush out and change my commenting stuff on my blogger blog JUST yet in case it isn’t necessary. I have the opposite problem at the moment with wordpress blogs. Because I have one – it directs people to my wordpress blog when I’d prefer to direct them to my blogger blog (http://lightening74.blogspot.com) because that is still really my main blog.
Oh, and I have tagged you for the 7 things meme but can’t remember if you’ve already done it. You can think of 7 more if you have, can’t ya? Yeah!!!!! If not, just ignore me at will…….

i have both as well.
i use my email to send to blogger and then go to wordpress and upload blogger to that.
so i rarley go to my blogger site now. Plus i get so annoyed at blogger because there templates NEVER change.. at least there is some variety with WP.

Missy: Or you could always move over to WordPress *snigger*….
Mystarbucks: All the cool people are doing it *snort* Blogger is sooooo last week. WordPress is the new black.
Kim: Yeah, lots of people were wondering but I got sick of adding Blogger sucks big fat hairy hemorrhoids to the end of every comment..
Katie: I think that they should be shaking in their boots cause everyone seems to be up in arms about it. I guess they thought they could do a Microsoft and decide this is the way it is (start to shut down…. friggin idiots) WordPress and Mac computers ROCK!
Lightening: Well that would make 7 times! I really need to do it…. Will add you to the list
Nicole: I have a blogger site somewhere… forgot the password

It’s stupid! I don’t like the new comment form at all! It’s just bloody google trying to make sure that EVERYONE has a google account. Bastards.
Gonna go check out Haloscan. Thankyou for that.

[...] in with a detailed analysis, and is labelling it unfair to all bloggers. Kelley has expressed her dissatisfaction in no uncertain [...]
December 4, 2007 at 2:38 pm
I’m thinking about it. Kinda scared though. What if I break the internet?
December 4, 2007 at 4:44 pm
I didn’t even see this post before. That shit is driving me nuts. Like if you’re not on Blogger, you’re really not good enough to leave a comment.
Argh.
I think if a whole lot of Blogger users threatened to decamp if this wasn’t changed, Blogger might get their collective heads out of their collective asses and fix it.
December 4, 2007 at 7:25 pm
I totally agree. I think the new system sucks! My non-Blogger readers aren’t commenting like they used to because the URL field is no longer there. I hate that.
I wasn’t even aware of it until today when some of my readers emailed me wondering what the heck was up. LOL, I was wondering why today’s posts didn’t have any of the normal chit-chat going on.
Bottom line, I think Google is WAY out of line with this sudden change! Grrrr.
Shine on,
Aaron

I totally agree. I have been p.o’d all weekend about this! I’m commenting now using my Blogger account, which I started way back when I didn’t know any better, but it sends clickers to a dead page rather than my actual blog. Nice.
It just feels rude.
December 4, 2007 at 7:55 pm
I am really thinking of jumping ship to WordPress, but I am not sure how to get my whole blog from Blogger over to WordPress.
BTW, is WordPress free?

Veronica: Check out Megs site first. I will blog about it in a minute.
Missy:
I am the same. I wanna do a poll for Mario-porn-stars name and too scared to download it!
Contrary: Blogger is getting a shit load more customers from people like us getting pissed off and setting up fake blogger accounts.
Aaron: I was bitching about it days ago. I must have discovered it just as it happened. Shows what a comment ho I am!
Whymommy: But it sucks that you have to do that. And I noticed that blogger bloggers can leave links in their posts that work, but my url doesn’t. Asshats.

I used to have HaloScan and then, nothing! I updated my template and it wouldn’t go on there, no matter what I did.
Then, as a paying, premium member I asked for help and NADA. I have a feeling HaloScan is going bye-bye.

Personally I think Type Pad is the most annoying. I actually find that Blogger is very intuitive and fine for the type of blogging that I do. I think that the commenting change is rather stupid and annoying. It definitely impacts on the number of comments.

You know blogger makes it super easy to add a poll to your sidebar, right?
Seriously tho, I used PollDaddy a couple of times. The internet didn’t explode.
