LJ doesn't offer it at all and Wordpress only if you get a paid account, and frankly, their free templates are fugly. ;) Another feature I like is the free photo upload (sure, there's a limit, but if you downsize the pics it goes a long way). And I can actually find human beings here - never managed that when I had trouble with my old LJ account. <br /><br />So unless my blog explodes some day, I'll stay with Blogger. And thanks for the efforts you put into improving it - even if not all improvements work equally well for everyone.Gabriele Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17205770868139083575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24069595.post-48417553755852214432010-02-22T14:35:58.592-08:002010-02-22T14:35:58.592-08:00Sais,

However, if you're going to use the Internet, you better be prepared to <a href="http://blogging.nitecruzr.net/search/label/Virginia" rel="nofollow">move with the changes</a>.<br /><br />Static page sizes, and classic templates, are where Blogger started out. Blogger moves forward, and like surfing, you better stay on top and keep moving, or you'll get buried - and you'll drown.<br /><br />I'm old - but I'm not dead.Nitecruzrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08069634565746003311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24069595.post-66414811560127934532010-02-22T10:15:58.442-08:002010-02-22T10:15:58.442-08:00Blogger is junk.

Moving ahead is fine, as long as you are INSTRUCTED on how to do so!<br />Sorry, Blogger. It's time to find a new blog source.J.
