Feature Requests

In addition to these six feature requests, I hope that Blogger will implement the following:

• As recommended by this guide, I'd like to control per-post security settings to selectively restrict my readership. It shouldn't be a huge challenge because most modern file systems support access control nowadays.
• I'd like to group my posts by category so a reader interested in movies can quickly glance over all my movie reviews (and nothing else) by choosing the corresponding category view. This is also a nice way for me to organize my posts, narrowing the specific content of a post. A full featured database as the back end is probably necessary for such a task.
• I'd like to automatically trackback my blog—ie, to report everyone who responds to one of my posts on his or her own blog. This could be tough. I still have no idea how this notification protocol works. HaloScan.com provides free blog comment and trackback services.
