What's to like and not to like about Blogger

TO LIKE:
1. Easy-to-use, hands-on blogging.
2. The wonderfully random Question & Answer in the Profile.
3. The editing process.
4. Limitless place for links in the Template.
5. The homepage is easy to navigate.
6. Labels.
7. Wakka wakka.*

NOT TO LIKE:
1. They have not yet chosen me for a Blog of Note.
2. Every time I come here I have to sign in. That "Remember Me" option is broken and it makes things a right pain in the neck.
3. The "Comments" section is variable as to whether I can actually enter it, and when I do it's sometimes needlessly picky about letting me post there.
4. Forcing me to upgrade. Look, the former version may have been more primitive, but I wanted to switch over in my own sweet time.
4a. And now that I've upgraded, I've lost the option to Search all of the blogs instead of just my own. A-noy-ying!
5. The "Help" section is miniscule.
6. For once, random is not good--the vagary of the "Next Blog" button.
7. The "Profile" section is still primitive--I can put my astrological sign up, but not my birth date. 'Sup with that?
8. The link to a picture in a post does not automatically open in a new window. Trivial, but nonetheless there.
9. Wakka wakka*.
11. An' another thing! After first publishing this post, I participated in a survey about feedback on the Blogger systems. There was only one catch: I COULDN'T SUBMIT MY ANSWERS! BLOGGER, YOU REEK!

* - People fluent in Wakka Wakka by now should be able to decipher these on their own.

Half Pint
A policeman in Salford, England, spotted a car running at 70 mph in a 30 mph residential area and gave chase. In addition to the speeding, the driver was going the wrong way, in the dark without lights, and drunk (.050 percent vs a legal limit of .035). He was also just 13 years old, and police caught him when he lost control and crashed. District Judge Jonathon Finestein sentenced the boy to four months in custody, plus a driving ban for four years — to start when he becomes eligible for a driver’s license. Judge Finestein, citing the “exceptional” nature of the case, allowed newspapers to report the boy’s identity despite his age: Jon Smee. (London Guardian) ...An obvious deterrent — that will keep it from ever happening with someone that young again.
