Well, comments and authentication are working, however I moved to the off-the-shelf comments module, which has it's own scheme for comment formatting, most notably substituting <br /> for newlines in the comment body.
I should merge my changes to parse HTML and include it in the comment database as CDATA. Maybe I can do that today.
Also, it's time to bring back the sidebar, with the tagcloud, linkroll, feeds, a flickr, etc.
I'm with several feeds to display, I'm going to revisit a generalized approach, with decoupled retrieval/caching and parsing/display.
Finally, I'd like to put a related tags
list on each tag
page, a feature not currently supported by the tag plugin.
At last, after struggling for a while with the session plugin, I gave up and fell back to a javascript-based check for comment spam, so the comment form works again (as long as you have javascript enabled in your browser).
Aside from it works
, the advantage of this method is it's
transparent to most users, with the notable exception of Jeff, a contrarian who uses the
NoScript
extension of Firefox. He refused my captcha session cookies, too, so it
probably doesn't matter in the long run. If you want to refute or rebut,
Jeff, you'll have to enable scripts for this site.
Next on the list should probably be better site navigation. I've heard complaints that there's no link from the a particular entry page back to the main page. Also tagging of older entries and tag clusters.
