What’s up at Blogger?!?

Really. I just noticed (again) that I can’t search blogger powered blogs through Blogger itself if I’m logged in.

What were they thinking???

I mean, it’s bad enough that you’re stuck with a system that, even after their much touted upgrade, doesn’t begin to compare with other blogging platforms. It’s not enough that permalinks are cryptic, or that on most blogger powered blogs, the commenting system is so screwed up that you can’t even tab through the form. (A hint for the blogger programmers, it’s known as taborder… it’s an old-skool html tag that’s still valid, and goes in an input type tag… Use it!)

I say this because I’ve been hinting something that I found on blogger a while back, but I’m having a devil of a time finding it, since my GMail notifyer keeps logging me back in, and then I can’t get to the search functions anymore…

Now I’m off to log out of GMail again and see if I can find what I’m after before it logs me in again.

(and no, I can’t just turn it off, I’m waiting on something important… *sigh*)
