Well, I did some updating to the blog this morning. I’m hoping these changes make things more user-friendly.
1. I finally fixed it to where the “Recent Comments” will show up in the top left-hand sidebar when you are in an article. It used to not be there except for the front page.
2. I moved the “Recent Posts” list to the lower left-hand sidebar.
3. I added “Your Unread Comments” on the right-hand sidebar. If you do not delete your cookies, then when you revisit the blog this will list all of the discussion threads in which there have been new comments made since your last visit. The title of the thread in which the comments have been made will be followed by a number in parentheses, like (10). That means there are 10 new comments. If you click on the number inside the parentheses it will take you to the first unread comment in that discussion so that you don’t have to hunt for where you were last.
Of course, if you delete your cookies, then all bets are off.
4. This also works off your cookies – there is now a little indicator square at the top of each comment. If it’s grey then it is a comment that was there last time you visited. If it’s yellow, it’s a new comment.
5. I added a “Related Posts” function that will show up at the end of each article (just before the comments). This should list 5 articles that may be related to the article you are reading.
Hope these changes help!
Valhall.
