comments features

Just as I was about to move my comments to HaloScan, Blogger made some improvements in the comments feature that may keep me using it for a while. Now comments are in a popup window. Now they have the time AND the date. And now you don't have to be anonymous if you're not a blogspot user. You do have to click the "other" button under "choose an identity" and then it gives you two fields for your name and/or url. And you don't have to click through two or more screens to do it. Well ok maybe two; it doesn't display the comments in the same place as the comment entry field the way haloscan does. Hopefully they will catch up. I thank you for your patience.
