Hi Will, it is getting better bit by bit. Looks like we got common international bug, lol. My advice is, don’t get close to people now, and avoid supermarkets. I think I got my when I went shopping and been blown by big recirculating fan. Anna

Thanks Anna - Hope you are feeling better. Something is really going around. I have friends in Philadelphia, India, New Hampshire, and now Canada, all with a bad cold or flu. So far I have escaped it!

Its not actually something blogger has done, its a hack you have to add yourself. So its not going to be perfect, i think its a bit buggy. I will have to see if the person who created the hack comes up with something better.

(plus I don’t want to move this blog to wordpress)

hehe Michael. But the truth is that for some, Blogger is what they want and what works for them. And if they at least use a good comment system, they won’t make it hard for the rest of to comment on their blogs.

Hi Bob - Your form is, I think, one generation before Claire’s, but it is a good one. I did notice something funny with Claire’s, though. Just now I went back to her site to look at it again and when I clicked on the single post it opened a wide page showing just the comments, not the post. Definitely not correct. I closed the window and went back and it loaded fine. Basically like a WordPress post with all the comments and the form right below the posts. So maybe Blogger is still working out the kinks on it. The one you use is good also. Tried and true, it opens a new view which can show the original post with the comments and the comment form.

The ones that are bad are the pop-up window forms, esp the ones that do not allow for you to enter a name and url. The name and url fields are critical if someone who does not use Blogger wants to leave a comment on a Blogger blog.

Wouldn’t it be better to advise them to move to Wordpress instead?

I definitely prefer my new comment form, its the nearest I could get to a wordpress like one
