GoogleGroups -> Blogger | Reason Nb 1: Author Syndication

[Moritz Schroeder]

You could use Google Groups for people to participate in blog posting. An aggregated and syndicated blog for which you don't need to have a Google account, nor a Blogger identity / profile. And yes, that does make sense. Blogger.com does not allow for people to participate if you don't have a Google Account. Google Groups does (albight with limitations). So by using Google Groups or any other mailing list, you can publish to Blogger without a Google ID.

Disadvantage - the author of the blog post is always the same one, ie the dummy Google account you need to create to make that trick work - unless you know a better workaround. More on how to do that later...
