A wouldn't-that-be-great for Blogger: when you've made your entry, but before your weblog has been published, words with suspect spelling (check against dict.org or Dictionary.com) should be hinted somehow, and have a popup with suggested corrections. There are freely available lists of valid words with phonetic translations (for matching incorrect words); I'll have to dig out my references. Of course, eventually you'd want user-defined dictionaries and so on, but I'm sure this would be useful even as an optional limited beta.
 
Hey, if I were the guys at Blogger I'd have a script that watched all new posts for 'Blogger' or 'Pyra' (the search picks up on the word in the template, too, not just on posts?).
