Whenever I update or browse through the comment on my page I’m starting to feel that restlessness ( too many s’ ) that I’m sure gil and Pre have felt on many an occasion.

I think it is almost time for me to dust off the XHTML book, dig out those “PHP Basics” links and take a good hard look at what’s going on behind the screen of this page.

Trina’s comment from a few days ago highlighted that the evolution of this page hasn’t exactly been smooth. The code to display comments has changed but the inputs and database are still setup the old way, the archives page uses a different method of displaying comments from the main page, there’s still no preview function when posting, there’s no ability to put “safe” html in the comments, the back-end… would saying the back-end is shite be a little too punny? Well it is…

Looking at some new blogs recently I have begun to wonder if writing this shit myself isn’t akin to stabing oneself in the face, just so you can say you did it yourself… certainly things would be easier with some pre-fab system…

Anyway… I’ll struggle with that issue. In the meantime, does anyone have anything they wish the page would do that it doesn’t?

Oh crap.. I just read this post and realised this is one of those that’s going to end up with 0 Comments.
Oh well…
