If nothing else, set up an eMail account with your ISP and then set up a forwarding address on your domain. That way, if you ever change ISPs, you just point the forwarding address to your new eMail. You could use Yahoo too. For some reason, Yahoo users have a problem receiving mail from me, so I also have a Yahoo address so I can communicate with them. You could even set a forwarding address to go to your Yahoo eMail. That way, again, if you decide to drop Yahoo, you can just set your forwarding eMail to a different address. Of course, the <i>easiest</i> thing to do is to just have your webhost set up a POP mail account for an eMail address on your own domain. That way, that eMail is always yours so long as you renew your domain name. Why aren’t you using an eMail address with your domain name?

Your name linking back to your blog is pretty much a standard, whereas putting a link in the body of your message just looks like spam. It makes you want to not leave comments on Blogger blogs, yet you still want to participate with your friends using Blogger. It’s definitely frustrating.

I use Gmail and have been a big proponent of theirs, but in light of recent events, I'm thinking of no longer using Gmail and changing my home page...any recommendations anyone?

Blogger has introduced open ID to Blogger in draft yet took away our other option. This really stinks. There was no announcement of this on Blogger Buzz. You think Blogger would have mentioned the switch. I don’t think it is a glitch. Blogger has introduced open ID to Blogger in draft yet took away our other option. This really stinks.

NOW it makes sense. I'm giving OpenID a shot. I was wondering why people were leaving comments without linking back to their blogs. NOW it makes sense. I’m giving OpenID a shot.
