Blogger and bad HCI?

One thing I noticed when looking at the list of blog groups for those taking the HCI module this year, is the number of people who have got the address of their blog wrong.

If you sign up for a blog that uses the blogger software, you have to sign up on Blogger.com. So, logically, your blog would be hosted there right? Wrong. Blogs that you sign up for at Blogger.com are actually hosted on the Blogspot.com domain. This accounts for the wrong addresses given for a number of the blogs and is an understandable mistake. Perhaps Blogger should reconsider where users sign up for their blogs, or make it more clear where the site will be hosted.
