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.

>> 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.

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.

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).

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?

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.

>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!
