Bleh. Blogger Comments.
The Blogger Comments are turned back on.
This is also a review of the "Echo" comments platform: while Echo plainly has many "Web 2.0" capable functions, it is utterly useless for the blogger who does not use a generic template. I am sorry I paid them money for their service, and I would paid double what I paid them for Echo on an annual basis to get Haloscan back.
Total thumbs-down to Echo and JS-Kit.

As they say: first.

Sanity reigns!
Whoo-hoo!
Welcome back, Frank.
Simple is better. Sorry you had to pay to find that out.
Haloscan was simple. I was hijacked by the folks who bought them out.
I resent it, and I realize it's a sin not to forgive them. I'm praying about it. I probably should not be praying the imprecatory psalms, tho.
Somewhere, there's a programmer whose children are begging for bread in the streets.
There's no place like home. There's no place like home.
Bummer. I hate when one company buys out another's technology, and then tosses it like a banana peel.
Frank,
This new format is a work of art. I absolutely love it. I think it is the most handsome blog I have ever seen. Well done.
One thing, no link to GiMP U?
Signed,
Drooling and trying not to covet
Well, I kind of miss having to sign into like three additional levels of clearance in order to put a comment on your blog... and, while I like the new look, it's not nearly BROWN enough.
And hey, mirabile dictu, you've finally got a home link from your menu bar!
Hey, I know how to work these comments! Very cool upgrade. Oh yes, the blog upgrade is okay too.
Wow. How did I not link to GiMP university and DebateBlog?
I must be ill or something ...
Zach:
Brown is the new gross.
How did I not link to GiMP university and DebateBlog?
Even worse, there's no link to the Pawn Shop...
DOH!
Frank I am very pleased to see you back. The new template looks great and even if haloscan is gone you're back and that is all that matters.
What's wrong with brown?
Witness:
Here's the fixed link to your blog (I hope).
That video you posted on the size of the known universe is astoundingly awesome.
(Right-click and "Open in New Window" if you're using Internet Explorer.)
(If using Internet Exploder, exit immediately and install either Google Chrome or Firefox.)
;-)
Hey, to be fair, this is a Blogger thing, not an IE-vs-Mozilla thing.
Clicking through to Witness's blog in Firefox does the same thing as IE: it displays his blog in this tiny Blogger comment window. :(
So, right-click and "Open Link in New Window" if you're using Firefox.
Thanks Stefan!
Wow I am embarrassed... I am a web programmer and forgot to launch my site in a new window. Sheesh!
I still want to know why brown is the new gross.
And I still think that "The Known Universe" video is spectacularly mind-blowing. Everyone here should check it out.
Frank is back.
Too bad you had to wrangle with echo.
Have you considered intensedebate or disqus?
