I think that registered users may be able to login to the control panel and go edit their own comments-- you may have to try that out for me, though! :) I actually tried to install a plugin that would let a comment author edit their comment for up to 30 minutes after they had keyed it in– don’t think that it’s working, though.

For me it takes up to a minute to change from one mode to another, like from dashboard to a new post. The same with saving, switching to HTML, etc. It might be the location - I am not close to the server. On the other hand - Blogger works perfectly well for me, never any losses of the kind You describe, some few occasional outages, but who does not have them. I am afraid switching is not an option. There is a couple of reasons for that, one has to do with the very reason I opened an account on Blogger, the other is its integration with Google, and there is this other one - people have just started to come and read. Thank You for the updating thought :) OK - I like Blogger a lot :) PS. Min, I think it would be nice if there was a function to proofread comments before the definitive posting. Is it? Blogger has it ;) Heloo, Mary :)

You can't use plug-ins with the free WP blogs, but there are a lot of free widgets available to just drag and add to your template. Ann, I'll update you in my blogroll if you ever switch!

Not at all happy about it, because working in it feels like glue :) It is slow, very slow. Besides, what do you do when your blog adress is quite well estabilished in the blogosphere, you do not want to change it. And bloggger is pretty good, I can work with the template code, the little I know how, so... It is fine. I'll just have to live without "stickies", unless I switch completetly to beta.

I haven't signed up with the service, so I don't know what plugins are available - but it would be an easy way to get used to wordpress. I think wordpress give free wordpress blogs too.

You'll best be served by getting your own dot com, and they're cheap. You are highly limited with Blogger and other "free" blog resources.

Thanks for sharing. I've used bravenet and blogger and nothing compares to WordPress. So glad MIn convinced me to make the switch way back when!
