Hi John, good to hear from you! Anyway, I wanted to make a suggestion that you free up some more space by making the side column a little more narrow. Also, the logo graphic could be make to look more appealing and less awkward. I just checked back at the comments for this post. Hi John, good to hear from you!

It's attractive but appears to have some problems in Internet Explorer as well as a lot of narrowing as the nested comments go on and on. I'm sure Brian's going to make it into something special.

Some posts either did not properly export from MT, or did not properly import into WP (I'm not sure which); the end result is that some of the posts list the incorrect author. It seems to be in stretches, and it's systematic; for example, a stretch of Matt Evans posts from the beginning of the year are all attributed to Jim. I'm not sure how it happened, but it will be fixed at some point; in the mean time, for the next few days, don't be surprised to see strange things like "Jim" posts from early 2004 that are strongly conservative in tone. :) (There may be others, that's the one I noticed right now).

I personally am "for" threaded comments but of course that's ultimately up to you to decide.

Matt Mullenweg, btw, is the lead developer/founder of WordPress and you can find him by simply doing a google-search for "Matt." He's the highest rank Matt on google.com right now (and probably for a long time to come). His blog is called PhotoMatt and is a pretty good place to check out from time to time. The Asides plugin/hack allows you to have one-liner posts (or a little longer if you wish) that merely draw readers' attention to a particular site or thought. Though you type in a title, if you type a brief post and then select the Asides category box (or whatever you name it -- perhaps Jots and Tittles would be a way to go for an LDS site), the reader will only see the material in the post (and not the title). For example, you could type something as brief as "A Soft Answer has announced such-and-such new blog." That one brief line would contain the link to the new blog and that would be it. It takes a little getting used to but it is handy. Matt's directions for using the Asides plugin aren't the best. If you decide you want this feature, read the directions at Podz's site: http://www.tamba2.org.uk/T2/archives/2004/08/20/asides/ Another plugin that will probably be of interest is the Exhibit plugin. You can use that plugin to post pictures or images. You can post either a thumbnail, the image itself, etc. You can download Exhibit here: http://www.asymptomatic.net/wp-hacks (just scroll down a bit as there is a list of available plugins on this page) Some WordPress plugin thoughts:

In the other format you had this and it made for better/quicker deciding whether a new post was something one wanted to read or not. Thanks for all the time you spend keeping this running well. Kaimi,
