I’ve been leery of pushing recent comments because Akismet isn’t 100% at flagging comment spam. I’m getting one or two false negatives a week.

If you do want to do that, it can be handled through widgets (as long as you’ve made this a widget-aware theme.)

This weekend I’m going to try deploying the OpenID authentication plugin so that people can authenticate against LJ or another OpenID provider to sign comments.

I’m not a big fan of all the cyan and white.

The type size is a little small for when I lie on the couch with the laptop on, um, my lap’s top. Maybe not excessively so, though.

Also — I’m using a plugin to show recent comments at Get Rich Slowly: Get Recent Comments. (p.s. I left a comment at Four Color Comics regarding Castle Waiting — summary: it had better improve because the first part isn’t very good.)

Yeah, I did know about that plugin. It wasn’t really what I wanted to do, though.

I don’t see that it’s a big pain to follow a link to the original site from an LJ syndication account. I do it all the time. Hyperlinks are what the Web is all about, after all. I think the issue is one of adoption (people subscribing to the feed), not technology. I’m not too worried about it.

You do realize that there is an add-on that allows you to pub to WordPress and dupe that to LJ? I use it all the time. And yeah, it’s a PITA to come over here from LJ for people. I don’t get many comments at the WordPress site, but tons over at LJ.
