              Two wolves and a lamb voting on what's for dinner

Sigh.

I am now outvoted (by a 2/3 majority no less!) in support for comments for
mod_blog [1]!

This came about because someone else is now using my software! First it was
Mark [2] and now it's Gregory (he hasn't finished his templates yet else I
would link to his new journal). And now that the majority have spoken, I have
responded. I spent a few hours today adding enough support to mod_blog to
support comments from an external source (say, Haloscan [3], or an external
CGI (Common Gateway Interface) program like the one Spring hacked up [4]). I
need to document this and get the code on the server, but it does work on the
test blog I have.

Next up is to support a simple comment system natively in mod_blog; it's not
what I originally wanted to support, but I had yet to actually figure out how
to support what I originally wanted (each comment getting its own URL
(Uniform Resource Locator) and the ability to select comments like you can
select entries [5] in mod_blog) but it is a start.
