Although it is a great option for free blog hosting, there are some significant structural issues with Blogger, most obviously that users are not able to categorise posts, and that there is no native / inbuilt trackback. Many users have developed workarounds for these, & we're bringing them to you in Wiki format for maximum interactivity and comparability. | Although it is a great option for free blog hosting, there are some significant structural issues with Blogger, most obviously that users are not able to categorise posts, and that there is no native / inbuilt trackback.

Why?

Many users have developed workarounds for these, & we're bringing them to you in Wiki format for maximum interactivity and comparability.
