Some Comment Links Changes
Posted April 29th, 2003 @ 12:58pm by Erik J. Barzeski
I've made some changes to the way Comments and PermaLinks work on the main index here at NSLog();. They It no longer opens popup windows, instead directing you to the #comments section of the individual article. Why? Mostly because I dislike popups, and partly because I didn't like getting email notifying me that someone posted to "mt-comments.cgi?entry_id=672" or something.
Then, to help things along, I replaced my Comment Listing template in MovableType with this:
<html> <head> <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL=<MTEntryPermalink>#comments"> </head> </html>
Easy enough. We'll see how this goes. I may revert, I don't know… we'll see.

Interesting, and something I like... I've never liked the pop-up either, and since I have about 10 blogs running for various people, under various domain names, I have to deal with all the BS of making MT generate the right things---which is often doesn't. This would be cleaner.
Must think.

But I'm not quite sure I like the fact that there's no extra space between individual comments. It's kind of dizzying.

I wouldn't mind you changing back. I kind of like having the page itself not change, and instead have a window pop-up.
Purely personal.
