Blogger's CAPTCHA overuse

That's an awful shame; Blogger really ought to do better than that. You did click the link to prompt them to verify you? (I at least <i>think</i> I recall there was such a link somewhere around the message explaining the additional CAPTCHAs. Not 100% sure

Blogger Blogthis! Upgrade - Freshblog

We both did. Where the Google Reader people are Greasemonkey friendly and generally housebroken, the Blogger people certainly are not, randomly spray changing name and id attributes all over the place, always restructuring, rarely if ever reusing the same

Another Comment Feed Hack - Freshblog

It's unfortunate that this method does not differentiate between multiple blogs authored by the same author. My own such feed, should I have one, would be plagued by commentary in Swedish besides the English for ecmanaut, and on <i>vastly</i> different su

Inline Comments Hack - Freshblog

Rather clever idea, using the comment URL field to add photos to common posters. I think I might eventually adopt something similar myself; the Blogger profile hack with iframes I use at the moment is kind of ugly.

Tags, Categories, Technorati

Browservulsel: Blogger backlinks the custom way

How simple and robust it became if one didn't bother with the custom foldable bits Blogger offer for folding and unfolding the backlinks, which I took to doing of my own with what little Blogger offers in scripted provisions for that. I really ought to st

Google Mint?

I had the same problem migrating from Advogato a while ago, but that was made much less painful using <a href="http://ecmanaut.blogspot.com/2005/08/advogato-xmlrpc-api.html" rel="nofollow">a quick Advogato XMLRPC API hack</a> I tossed up. Looking back on
