Looks like blog comments are now grouped by the blog they're commenting on. I think this works a bit better than having them all lumped into a single "blog comments" entry. I still would prefer to see deleted comments show up in the Deletion log rather than as a "new" blog comment.

Being able to preview a blog comment would definitely help, especially if you're trying to add a link to another page or an admin is having to edit a comment to fix a problem.

Another item that would help is being able to provide a summary of a blog comment edit, just like you do with regular pages and the blogs themselves. If a user changes a comment they made, lack of an edit summary might not matter (unless they are trying to hide something they wrote previously). But if an admin has to go in and edit another person's comment, they should be able to give a reason for that. It may look arbitrary otherwise.

Without a summary, you have to look through the history of the comment to see what was changed and deduce the reason for yourself. Right now, the only way to provide a reason is to add a hidden comment inside the edit with < !-- reason for the edit -- > and that's still only readable when you look through the history and diff of the individual edits.
