Blogger's CAPTCHA overuse
by ecmanautThat's an awful shame; Blogger really ought to do better than that. You did click the link to prompt them to verify you? (I at least <i>think</i> I recall there was such a link somewhere around the message explaining the additional CAPTCHAs. Not 100% sure
Blogger Blogthis! Upgrade - Freshblog
by ecmanautWe both did. Where the Google Reader people are Greasemonkey friendly and generally housebroken, the Blogger people certainly are not, randomly spray changing name and id attributes all over the place, always restructuring, rarely if ever reusing the same

Google Mint?
