People Losing Adminstrator Status On Their Blogs

On June 12, Blogger finally gave us the ability to transfer blog ownership. With that ability came the ability to remove ourselves from ownership, if and only if there was a second blog administrator . Unfortunately, the display, and the change option, is confusing. People are removing themselves (or a friend), from administrator status, when they think that they are making themselves (a friend) an administrator. If you're looking at the blog permissions display, and you see a clickable link besides your name saying "admin", wouldn't you think Heck yeah, I'm an admin! If the link says " admin ", that means that you are currently an admin ; clicking there makes you a guest . You click on the link, and now, you're a guest , with no warning. If you just clicked on your own entry, you are out and can't get back. What's needed is a popup that says Blog member xxxxxxx is currently an administrator. Do you want xxxxxxx to be a guest? Yes / No...
