>It is either a way to falsely inflate the number of pages I’m viewing while on their site or it’s just bad, bad design.<

Heh -- my suspicion is it's BOTH!

Amy, I'm afraid you're right. I don't begrudge them wanting to make money and be profitable, but giving this kind of user experience will cut into that profitability. People will just forego clicking through.

Oh I hate this too. It's so basic and yet so many websites make this error. I usually leave after the first two images.

Btw, how did you get nested comments in 2.3.1? Tell me!!! I want! Quoter doesn't work at all.

Also, sorry to hijack, but I d/led Flock. Some good, some bad. Do you still use it?

Hey Gideon, happy holidays and all that. :)

I am using the Disqus commenting system -- threading's built in. Go to Disqus and get the Wordpress plugin and your own account. It's really a nice system.

I use Flock every day -- just not always for this blog. I love it, love it. It's the only browser that I can write posts to different Blogger blogs from without a problem (and part of my job is managing a few of those).

Happy Holidays! So you like this commenting system? It doesn't seem to show the most recent comments in the sidebar, though. I like that feature.

I'm going to have to keep exploring Flock... but since I don't use flickr or twitter or facebook that much, I don't know if it really has value for me.

>> It doesn't seem to show the most recent comments in the sidebar, though.

There will be Disqus-specific sidebar widgets to address this soon. We're pretty excited about this bit.

Ah, okay. I'll keep an eye out for it. I need to tweak the CSS before I apply it to my posts too and since I'm hopeless at that, it probably will take a week or two.
