Hacking Blog

When you know the Post ID#.... Richard at Philosophy, Etc points out that the comments page for a draft post can be accessed by anyone who knows the post ID. This presents an interesting (though not 100% secure) option for using the non-beta version of Blogger as a private discussion board, by circulating the post ID / URL of the comment page to members of the discussion.

Interesting to note that the comments feature gets attached to the post before publication, & that the "full" comments page appears when you do this, even if the blog you're (not) publishing to has pop-up comments enabled.

All good stuff....
