Things to make Blogger sexier

I've been with Blogger a little while, okay, one month. Overall, it's a very outstanding blog publishing platform. I love them for they let me do blogging with their system without being branded with their name, if you know what I mean. (Wow, what an expression with with ... without ... with, have you ever seen that before?) On the other hand, it would have been perfect if they had considered something I imagine of to provide to the users.

1. Data backup and export.
   Backing up is a fundamental function that Blogger should not have missed. Perhaps they think that, okay, now that we are publishing content to HTMLs on another host, why bothering to code a button that backs things up. They are actually copied to another place upon publication, aren't they, only in a different format. Hmmm, sounds reasonable, right, I give in. (I'm such a jerk.) However, while -
   Backup is good, export is better, I believe. This enables the users to export their whole blog or selection of entries to such cute popular serious formats other than HTML as TEXT, XML(not to mention DocBook as well as various other solid XML destinations), PDF, and even more. You name it. But wait, will Blogger continue to be free when it offers us this? The answer is clear. That it is. Impossible. And negative. Daydreams do no harm, do they.
2. Template customization layer.
   The DocBook guys took applicable customization into account from very early versions of DocBook when it still depends on DTD for schemes. And a customization layer is the snippet a user put in the beginning that redefine one or more parts of the official DocBook scheme. Very intuitive and easy to maintain, also less error-prone. Unlike Blogger, it doesn't force your eyes to painstakingly locate the codes dispersed all around everytime before committing any modifications; DocBook customization layer is all at the top of the entire official scheme, so add or modify your own layer, and that's all. More importantly, this layer is preserved when you update the official scheme. You just put your customization layer on top of the new DocBook, and everything's done. On the contrary, all the information including previous styling and marking-up must be provided to Blogger again when you want to use another template. It's no easy task, let alone the errors you may incur.
3. Account settings export or sharing a common setting XML among selected blogs.
   Sometimes it's necessary to make changes to the settings of various blogs at the same time, or you just want to synchronize them so that they are in the same pace. Blogger could well maintain XML sockets for every single blog, and let the users to upload their XML to the server and choose to plug one or more of them into the sockets of each of their blogs. In this way, blogs plugged with the same XML will have some of the settings in common. (Hey you geek, is this necessary? The tweaking job takes days to accomplish for you, does it.) Hmmm, that's a thinker. So see this. Why not trying to integrate this settings XML into the custimizatino layer we just talked about, every blog has only one template at a given time, right?
4. There's a text color button in the WYSIWYG editor, so why don't you treat me with a background color button?!
   Cause' I love it.
5. Enable the users to integrate some of the customized styles into the WYSIWYG editor as buttons.
   For instance, I frequently site code snippets in my work, so I make up a div idded myCode and the corresponding CSS styles. Without the button for it, it would be necessary for me to dive into the mess of HTML, scroll, and find the exact place of the target content to add this markup manually everytime I want to site a snippet. With the button, I just select the tract and push. It's much easier.
6. Display HTML tags in colors when editing HTML.
   Like some local HTML editors do. A general well aware of where his soldiers are is more likely to triumph over one who doesn't.

Maybe I can write my own blog publishing scripts with PHP? No I can't. So Blogger, would you please do me the favor? Noooo you won't.
