OT when did blogspot begin to suck that much? with javascript disabled, I get an empty page. With javascript enabled, I see a stupid animation while I have to wait for something to finish.
Pretty recently, I think. Just following in the footsteps of Twitter and Facebook, I suppose, using fancy technology to produce a slower, more annoying user experience.
It's not blogger itself, but blogs with certain new formatting templates. (Which don't seem to do much obvious for the reader, other than display those silly spinning gears if the browser isn't up to snuff or has some kind of NoScript plugin enabled.)
I caught it at least as far back as October. It's a fundamental disconnect with providing content. Strangely enough, I ran into it from a HN link. I wrote about it at the time, for what it's worth.
