Blogger.com hickups

It's interesting to see how blogger hasn't really totally been integrated witht hte whole google platform, look at the Single-Sign-On, go to your blog it will show you as signed-off if your session expired, if you redirect to blogger it will finally sign you in based on your cookie and let you post... No fun.

Another hickup with blogger, something i just realized. It's very easy and convenient to add an image to any blog entry, Blogger let's you upload your images "somewhere" and you can post right away. The interesting thing is the procedure to post a profile image, look at the procedure. Yes you need to:
- Go to you blog
- Add a fake entry and upload an imange (remember i told you it was easy)
- Look at the generated HTML to find out the link to your image
- Copy and paste that link into your profile
- pfeww

It's funny how often we spend huge amount of time on things but stop right in front of a feature that is probably very often used. You would think that they can reuse all the work they did for uploading a file when you create a blog entry, but go figure...

So here is my post so that i can get the link to my uploaded picture ;) Sure i could not publish it but i wanted to rant a bit.
