Also, I think you're partly correct here, Pauric: "p.s. The 'firewall' argument, http://tinyurl.com/yhcr7o , is -completely- bogus. I've been building corporate networks for 12 years and designed a number of firewall UIs. This limitation is purely down to dumbass lazy network admins BOFH's (as Will put it) . If you cant access blogger from your place of work - talk to the admin and get the site whitelisted, if they refuse then you're really facing work-practice politics, not true concerns over blogger.com injecting malicious js code in to your corporate network."
The problem remains partly because there are, and always will be, dumbass lazy admins. For most users on our network, Blogger is wholly inappropriate during work and should be blacklisted. Scripts are not forbidden, but we've already had a major virus incident compromise our server. If such an incident is ever traced to some malicious script, I believe the knee-jerk reaction will be to forbid all script. Real-world paranoia trumps logic every time. So I'd agree that doesn't make it right, but I'd still argue for what your linked article calls "progressive enhancement." Maybe good interaction design should make allowances for the existence of human variables like dumbass reactionary sysadmins, too. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
