  Three things WordPress.com could improve:

  1. Increase the size of the name of our websites in reader they are now in micro-script.
  2. Remove the ability to comment in reader rather than on the site, it will discourage people from going to our blogs.
  3. Increase the size of photographs taken in portrait mode (vertical). Posting a portrait oriented picture makes it almost immediately smaller than a vertical photograph.

  Not wishing to begin a significant dialogue I will leave these suggestions with you in the hope that they will be seriously considered.

  Thank you!

  Then you should also agree with my first point, or so I would hope.

  No I don’t agree with 1 – sorry.
  Also I don’t want to see any media at all in the Reader. (No kidding. )All I require is the permalinked titles to posts published in blogs I follow. In other words I don’t wish to see the Reader become the place to read blogs at all. I want it to be a place where I’m notified on new posts in blogs I follow with links to them only.

  Are you sure you do not want the name of your blog in larger type? I think you confused my third point with my first.

  I would like to see 2 implemented.
  I wish they never have allowed commenting from the Reader I appreciate the Reader in that I can view the list of blogs I follow from there, rather than all the updates in my inbox. Personally, I use the Reader to scan what I might find interesting and then click to the sites I want to read. I am guessing the majority want to use the Reader for much more, since it is being made to over-ride the settings of the blog owners.

  I think a larger blog name on the Reader would be helpful, but more so take the commenting ability off.

  I, also, am on board for number 2. I don’t care about 1 because I only use the reader to remind me which blogs I like to read, and I go read them on the web.
