Blogger Babble at Google - The Glitches Continue

This is a copy of an e-mail I just sent to Blogger developers:

"Dear Blogger Developers,

For some reason, Blogger development lags far behind the general pace and quality of Google development. Why is that?

I complain about this from time to time on my Blogger blogs but it seems to fall on deaf ears.

The newest glitch is part of the Blogger advertising toolbar script code which Blogger enters onto blogspot.com pages. This script has the nefarious quality of now appearing on Google as the "description" of the site (since it appears before any other TEXT on the site)".

I have a new blog, megaliths.blogspot, for which the following "description" appears now on Google (March 22, 2006):
"Notify Blogger about objectionable content. What does this mean? Blogger · Send via SMS · Get your own blog · Flag Blog · Next blog · BlogThis! ..."

This is not limited to my site. You can also see this if you enter the search phrase - "link size" Blogger - into Google and look at the first result, which is a page from the site linux.help.blogspot.com. I looked at that page http://linuxhelp.blogspot.com/2006/02/concise-explanation-of-i-nodes.html and it is quite a normal page, so why is Google giving us Blogger Babble????

As seems so often to be the case at Blogger, programming changes are instituted before such changes are suitably tested for their effect on the real world.

Sincerely,

Andis Kaulins"

P.S. Note also how the long link in the text of this page - a Blogger template - runs across the right border, at least it does on my Firefox browser. I have left it that way intentionally to show another Blogger error which needs correction.
