Blogger is a great platform to start but don't you think the editor is pathetic and needs to be changed. What do you think ?
Do you think Blogger should revamp it's editor?

Well It has come out with a new design. But it is still in the testing phase. I'm waiting for it. you're right, the current one is really pathetic. And when it was released in 2008 they said it was WYSIWYG but that doesn't really happen.
But good news.
They are going to change the post editor, dashbord, etc. soon.

We know Arti, constraint makes creative :) but its been a long due. now atleast writeing, copying in a notepad and then pasting efforts would be solved. @Xeno has give a link where its promised that we are going to have a killer app. http://buzz.blogger.com/2011/03/whats-new-with-blogger.html

Use desktop blogging tools like Windows Livewriter or other similar alternatives to tackle the limitations of blogger.

yeah Sujith desktop blogging tools is an option but was thinking why blogger was not taking it seriously. for the moment we like the notepad but looking ahead for the blogger's new dahsboard.

I think its simple concept of 'Push-button' publishing is a good starting point for begginers. But it can never help in making a complete website. plus the seo is not very good for blogger.

SEO is something i am not considering for blogger, evenn adding apps is pain and the formating part is not really intresting. anyway since blogger has updated that 2011 is the year for new design so will have to wait and watch :(
