Editors note.

Hi all.

Thank you all for your enthusiastic involvement with this site. Last night, bloggers feature that forwards all your comments to me broke.

It seems like it is back online now, but in the short period of time it was down it created the need for this post.

If you have commented recently (specifically on some of the older posts, I may not have noticed it. If you asked a question there and I did not answer it, that is probably the reason. You can either re-post your question there or here or email it to me!

Second, as I was scrolling through the most recent posts to see if anyone had said anything I realized how unwieldy the home page has become. It took me about twenty minutes (not literally) of scrolling to get from one post to the next.

That being said, in the interest of making it easier for you to navigate, I have installed some code that allows me to create a summary of the post with a link that allows you to read the rest in a new window.

You can still open the post in the same window by clicking on the title of the post. If you open it in a new window, when you close that window, the whole front page will still be there. This should make it easier if you want to see if anyone has commented recently. Also, if you want to be updated regularly, you can subscribe to comments on a per post basis.

I say all that to say, I hope this makes things better. If it does not, let me know here.

I still want to make one of those cool widgets that lets you see the most recent comments... hopefully that will come soon.

Thanks.

  2. I sure hope so. I am going to look into that this weekend.

    Like the post summary with "click here for more" thing, it is not standard here at blogger.

    I hope I will figure it out... I really appreciate that feature on your blog and others. I have considered switching to wordpress just for that. But we will see what happens. Thanks for the request.

    Anything else that would improve this site?

    Everyone can feel free to answer that.

    Thanks.
