I really like my decision to choose WordPress as the blogging tool I use. Congrats to the WordPress developers, theme designers, and widget makers across the blogosphere. However, there are still improvements I would like to see made to make it more useful to myself and others. How would you fix WordPress to make it meet your needs and the communities’ needs better?
• More options for design in the WordPress hosted blog. I would suggest more that look like magazines or some of the nice ones published by Smashing Magazine.
• WP posts would publish exactly as they are in visual, not collapse them without carriage returns and spaces (this may just be a Mac problem)
• Fix the problem 7) that turns it into a smile
• The ability to make a post private by checking or unchecking a box (or pressing an unpublish button).
Cheers!

How about the ability to edit themes without touching the CSS code? Like a visual editor.

Also allow javascript so we have more ability to add widgits and video players. Also an automatic redirect from the wordpress feed to a feedburner feed if you so choose or at least the ability to keep track of subscriptions using the WP feed.
Those are some things that Blogger did that I miss. Overall I like wordpress better with their templates and I’ve received more traffic since moving than I did at when I was at blogger.

Nathan, I’m not sure if you saw this or not, but we just released a WordPress plugin for the MyBlogLog API.
