Crucial Blogger Shortcomings

The following are all sorely needed:

• A "Report Spam" link on every comment left on a blog post
• Captcha forced for blog authors as well
• A comment spam filter (8/13/2010: IT EXISTS NOW YAY)
• Links to moderated commenters' profiles from the comment moderation panel.  Also, a link to their blogs, when applicable.  The emails it sends about moderated comments have profile links...
• A link directly to the dashboard from the navbar even when you're looking at your own blog
• The Quick Edit link in a post should use Blogger in Draft if the user has it enabled
• Templated HTML for inserting an image into a post
• Ability for custom theme CSS to use theme variables
• Toggle for target="_blank" on links
• Ability to add extra formatting buttons that apply custom CSS classes to post content via span tags
• A setting to specify custom CSS to be loaded in the post editor, for use with custom CSS classes applied to post content via span tags
• The Twitter gadget needs to show retweets and link whatever #thesearecalled
• A proper trackback system compatible with other blog software
• The post preview click catching element needs to be positioned with position: fixed; rather than position: absolute;, and the diagonal "Preview" text should be below it, not above it.
• Tweaks to the editor so that pressing Enter has the desired effect on the first try, and to eliminate the space it puts at the end of a line.
• Ability to preview the short version of a post using a jump break
• Post editor formatting button for underline
• Some emoticons or something (should be the same height as the text so they don't mess with line spacing)
