Hmm... need help.
Okay, I'm not sure why Blogger is supposed to be so much better than MSN Spaces, but I'd definitely like input from people who use it as to why it is their preference. Having used Blogger for a week or so, I see several differences when compared to MSN Spaces:
- In Blogger, there is no centralized way to view comments without turning on moderation. Therefore I have to scan each post for new comments OR turn on email notification and potentially clog up my inbox. In MSN Spaces, there is a central control panel that lists comments and trackbacks.
- Oh yeah, Blogger doesn't support trackbacks.
- Blogger gives more control over the appearance of the page. I like that, but at the same time, I don't really want to spend a lot of time customizing the template.
- MSN has built-in photo albums and media player.
- Blogger allows anonymous comments without a passport. But EVERYONE has a passport, don't they?
- People who have me in their MSN Messenger contact list are automatically notified when my blog is updated. I like that, too.
- Also, it's been about a week, and I'm still not rich and famous like Miranda said I would be. I don't even have paparazzi taking pictures of me at the grocery store yet!
So I'm not sure that Blogger is all that and a bag of chips like it's supposed to be. Somebody please convince me that I'm wrong.

Blogger is better because people can leave comments without signing up for it. AND leaving comments doesn't slow down browsers. It's easy to comment on people's posts and people tend to comment a lot more than they do on MSN. But they comment more if you visit them and comment first.
I need more time :P then I can your rabid, cheering blog fan! But for now, I need to sleep!
And NO, not everyone has passport. I had to get one just to post on your blog. And everything took _forever_ to load. And posting was slowed down.
Blogger is great because it DOESN'T make us deal with that horrible media player. That slows things down too. Especially when it autoloads.
You can link to your photoalbum from blogspot if you want.
