Ever since Google+ arrived on the social scene, Blogger has gone through a few transformations. Surprisingly, the latest update to Blogger has nothing to do with Google+.
Today the Google Buzz blog announced that blogger now supports threaded comments. These comments make it easier for the reader to figure out if a commenter is responding specifically to their comment, or just making a general comment on the thread.
There is a catch, however: Users must go to their Blogger profiles and select embedded comments, and enable a full-text blog feed. This is relatively easy to do.
To change the blog to a full-text feed, go to Settings and select “Full.”
To make comments embeddable, go to Settings > Posts and comments. Select the “Embedded” option.
Users who have already replaced their Blogger profiles with their Google+ profiles can share snippets of Blogger blog posts to their Google+ circles.
For bloggers who already have a good following on Google+, integrating the two makes a lot of sense. But for anyone who blogs on Blogger under a pseudonym, linking Google+ and Blogger closes the opportunity for that fake Internet profile. Threaded comments are available for users regardless of whether or not they integrate their Google+ and Blogger profiles.
