You may have noticed that things look a bit different. I got annoyed with the limitations of WordPress.com and decided to move over to WordPress.org. Happily, this has opened a while new world of toys, aka plugins, and you can see some of them already (comment preview and editing window).
However, because I have no idea what I am doing, I am liable to make things worse before they get better, so you may just want to stay away until it’s safe. 
If things get disastrous, I’ll put the blog in maintenance mode. Just FYI.
Any suggestions? Let me know!
Happy Thanksgiving, US folks!
Is one of the new toys the option for people to subscribe to particular comment threads? I really like it when blogs have that option because it makes it easier to keep track of ongoing conversations.
Laura, Thanks for the suggestion. I will do that if I am able.
Any other suggestions? Anything annoying about this blog (um, NOT content related, thank you.)?
The navigation (right sidebar) has gone away from the post-pages. Can it be brought back?
RfP– yes, that annoys me incredibly as well. I will fix it.
(um, NOT content related, thank you.)
LOL!
Laura and RfP — I think I have made those changes. (fingers crossed) Thanks for the suggestions.
Victoria — yes, my ego is that weak. I don’t think I’ll even start an open thread that says “please tell me what you don’t like about what I’ve written.”
Thanks, Jessica. I’m going to try out the new “notify me of followup comments via email” straight away. Of course, then I’ll just have to wait patiently until someone else comments on the thread and I either do or don’t get notified.
For what it’s worth, I like the content and can’t think of any suggestions on how to improve it anyway.
Thanks Laura!!
Let’s hope you get this comment (I tried it on myself and it worked, but one never knows.)
Yes, it worked! I just got an email which let me know about your comment.
