Dear blogger: Here's the SSL for Blogger!

aka doesbloggerofferHTTPSyet.com

Good (although very belated and not totally awesome but still really good) news, everyone!  HTTPS support is finally coming to Blogspot:

We’re rolling this out gradually and Blogspot authors interested in enabling HTTPS support can begin opting-in today. Simply log into https://www.blogger.com, click on the blog you’d like to make HTTPS enabled, navigate to the Settings page, and select "yes" for "HTTPS Availability". Unfortunately, blogs with custom domains are not supported in this first version. 

Dear Google: Where's the SSL for Blogger?

I thought enabling HTTPS for this blog would be straightforward, but I painfully found out that a feature I assumed would be a no-brainer is in fact impossible to come by - there's no way to use SSL natively with Blogger.  For those of us that want to serve content via end-to-end encryption Blogger is not a solution until Google decides to bring it up to speed with the rest of its services.
