I Bring You Improvements
Comments Section
A few people told me that they couldn’t find the comments section since there was no obvious link to it. You could get to the comments by clicking on the post title or by clicking on the number of comments displayed on the left side of each post. Now I have added the word ‘Comments’ below the number of comments on the left side. Hope this clears things up.
No More Capitalisation
The capitalised headers and blog title were annoying me so I modified the CSS to make them display as default upper and lower case.
Comments Feed Error
PS Praveen, the founder of Orkut, notified me that the comments feed was screwed up somehow and wasn’t showing any entries. George helped me determine that the problem was with the FeedBurner Feedsmith plugin so I simply deactivated it.
Shoutbox
The shoutbox was getting choked with spam so I went and found an updated version of it that had a weird numerical CAPTCHA. It should show up only for new users/spammers so it won’t be annoying. Let us see if this version combats spam better.
Later
I’ll work on the blog header sometime later and add a few more things to the sidebar. Also have to add gravatars to the comments section along with some cosmetic changes. Anything else that needs tweaked?
reached this blog now.

The “comments” thing is a bit squished. Hard to read, but does the job.
And you need definitely need a new header. I am always reminded of Airtel and the Circus when i see it.

It didn’t fit that small space exactly when I made it bigger so left it at current size.
I like the header image itself but the whole space is oddly organised so I’ll be changing that.

It most definitely is not. It is considered the worst insult ever.

And how! The improvement in the blog is stunning! My pleasure to blogroll you, mate!
The ‘comments’ thing is still invisible in the Frontpage of your blog.

@ Sharad
Lol dude! You have a so called shout box facility in this blog to ask things like that. So why asking it in a post’s comment section and making it stupid???

I deleted another comment from sharad in my World of Warcraft post. I don’t know what the hell is wrong with him. I clearly told him not to leave unrelated comments. From now on I’m just going to delete them.

Marc,
I meant I can’t see a ‘comment here’ written in the post. You click the post, and then the comments come at the bottom.

Marc Z says:
Fine, I will add another link to the comments. There is a link to the left of a post also, under the post date.
