Blogspot, you're inconvenient.

While I appreciate the fact that it took me no less than 25 seconds to create a blog, thanks to Blogspot's easy to use templates, I do find it infuriating that I can't go to my blog to start writing. Every time I sit down to type, I do what is -- in my mind -- the first responsible action. I go to my blog. And then I hunt around awhile for the "make new blog" button.

And I fail.

So I spent another minute or two getting distracted by the crappy writing and typo laden cacophony of grammar verbosity on the page, realize with a sense of resigned horror that it's MY writing that is causing the air I breathe to taste like burnt paper, and try to find the sign in button.

There is a sign in button. So I press it and a pop up.... pops...up... (I do so hate psuedo onomatopoeias such as that), and I sign into the popup, and nothing happens. So I X the pop up and resort to repeating steps one and two above. This whole process takes me about 10 minutes on average -- quite impressive considering I can usually type an entire post in under that amount of time. Especially when I cut n paste prior work like yesterday.

I realized, today, that I can't go to my own blog to start typing. I have to go to the blogspot home page, where it thankfully remembers me and asks me if I want to start typing. Yes, Blogspot, you lazy fart, of course I do, and thanks for hiding in the most ridiculous location I can fathom without being intentionally obtuse.
