So, we’ve been failing and failing to put up anything about our trip to Italy at the beginning of December. There’s no real excuse for it. We just got stressed out about getting our UK visas and moving. Then we got here, and we’ve wanted to post the stuff off the tops of our heads. So, though perhaps not the most inspired trip log, here at least is something, with pictures :). more…
So, Dreamhost (our ISP) nudged us to upgrade our WordPress to 2.7, and lo-and-behold it included some major enhancements, including threaded comments! This made our little heart go pitter-pat. But, of course, the theme we were using didn’t support threaded commenting. So we tracked down one that did that we didn’t hate.
New features in the current layout:
1. Threaded comments! (Duh.) Now you can reply to specific comment and it will display as such. This is probably more useful for us than for you.
2. The picture in the middle of the header changes, and it’s once of ours. Some of the ones we picked look better than others, so we’ll probably play with it.
3. We can now automatically email you when we answer your comments! One thing I’ve always felt made blogs like WordPress impersonal in comparison to social sites like LiveJournal is that people have to go back to the site to see if anyone happened to answer their comment. I believe Terran and I, as admins, are the only people who can use the feature, but now when you comment, we can reply and send you an email notification.
Hope our (very small) devoted readership likes the change :).
