#2Can the title be changed to Blogger.com instead of just Blogger? the current title is rather misleading, I thought some blogger decided to prank persons using older browsers.

A good tip, but not always an option for some people. Especially if you're interested in using some sort of niche blogging software. (As in, not Wordpress or something popular)
Not everyone has time / money to set up and host their own blog.

#5I always hated visiting comment pages of blogs hosted at Blogspot Dot Com. And I use an old browser (Firefox 1.5).

Well, fortunately the issue is now fixed on my Blogger.com blog at least.
Basically, you just have to remove the JavaScript that attempts to link the comment form to the Google Friends widget.

Personally, I use the free hosting from Blogger because it is always fast and always reliable. I don't have to worry about overloading my server if my site experiences a sudden success on Digg, or Delicious, or another service. I also don't have to worry about paying for hosting. This allows me to stick to my no advertising policy.
All considered, I've been using Blogger for nearly two years and this is the first time I've experienced a real bug.

That's why it's a protip. If you want to avoid the hassle that come with outsourcing some of your core infrastructure, like having to deal with waiting for bugs to be fixed, then self-managed hosting is the only option. But you're just trading one set of hassles for another. And if you're interested in running some niche blogging software, good luck finding a service that will do that. If you want to outsource to a service, you're limited to what services are providing, which is usually those that are popular.
