To summarise, I asked Alan if we could register so that we could follow our own comments easier and suchlike. Within a few hours, he’d agreed and checked all of the boxes to make this happen. For the moment, the link is /wp-register.php, but a site meta box is something I’m hoping to add somewhere to make it easier to login/logout/register.

Then I started talking about what version of WordPress Alan was using on here, was it the stable version, or the very pretty AJAXed beta version that;s due to come out soon. Alan responded by upgrading the blog core, which has lead to improvements such as threaded comments (so you know what comment responds to what) and a better looking dashboard for those choose to register.

A few more hours went by and I noticed a couple of small visual flaws caused by the new features, like a bullet-point appearing next to the comments, and I offered my help to Alan. Now, I’ve been promoted to an ‘Administrator’ level, and I can edit the template files online. I’ve already fixed the bullet-point issue, and have plans to shorten the indents of the threaded comments as well as ensure that the alternate colour shading works as it should.

So, why start a new post?
Well, I figured I wasn’t the only person who could see things on the blog that weren’t quite right somehow. So, if you see something that needs to be fixed, leave a comment down here and I’ll try my best to fix it. When I’m done, I’ll reply to your comment (if it doesn’t look fixed, try pressing Ctrl+F5).
