Looks real cool, though.

Ken Coar: So why aren't there any links or adverts?  I can't speak for others.  Would I be offended by tasteful adverts on other pages?  Heck no. Would I consider putting such a link on my page?  Not yet.

I've had people offer to "exchange links".  I've had people offer to send me stuff if I would mention it on my weblog.  I've even had people send me stuff "with no obligation".

Quite frankly, I have enough obligations.  Wife.  Kids.  Work.  Associations of various sorts.

Now look at the simple blogroll.  Mine is generated automatically.  It isn't even particularly representative - if people post too often, I take them out and visit their site directly.  If they don't post at all, they stay on.  Others, I visit frequently anyway and it doesn't occur to me to add them

Now, what happens when you remove someone from your blogroll? [links compliments of Bb.  Always give attribution].  I've had a similar experience when I was overloaded at work and removed a bunch of people from my blogroll and somebody got their feelings hurt.

Now, would I willingly incur such an obligation in exchange for a few bucks?  Perhaps if it was enough bucks to retire on.  Otherwise, I have enough people who don't pay me a dime telling me what I have to do.

No thanks. 

Comments can now be previewed before submitting.

My comment system started out as a WYSIWYG kinda thing. If you typed in <foo>, you got <foo>. This works for many. Unfortunately, I found out that some other people were expecting to be able to type in HTML.

So what I have been doing is looking for the most common usage and specifically enabling it. But the results aren't always what people expect, so I've now added support for you to preview before you submit.

What did it take? Probably about 4 or 5 lines of code and a new template. I love blosxom.
