I thought that I’d post some brief comments about the new design of this site (later, I’ll post about the WordPress Hacks I’ve used). As much as anything, it will serve as a reminder to myself when I forget how the heck I did something. I also found that when I saw something I liked on another site, I missed an explanation of how it was done. I plan to link to this post on the About page, so that anyone who gets the same feeling coming here will have some answers.
Mark Bernstein has been commenting on comments on blogs (if that isnât too recursive for you). He wrote:
Comments donât belong in weblogs.
I donât agree, at least in a global way. First, I think that people are entitled to make whatever they want of their own weblogâitâs their own space. Some people see their weblog as a kind of considered thinking space which they want to control quite tightly. Others welcome the interesting chaos that allowing commenting can provide. Iâm definitely of the latter opinion.
Perhaps Iâve just been luckyâapart from comment spam and the odd childish contribution like âu smellâ1, which I treat with the contempt and indifference they deserve, people who comment here mostly provide funny, informative and interesting contributions, and that adds greatly to this site. I suppose that if I ran a very political or controversial site, I might have more of a problem with trolls, but I still donât think that commenting per se is badâit all depends on how well-behaved your audience is.
