w00t!

Of course, my usual preference is to open the comments in a new tab, but failing that, I like it in the same window.

More importantly, I cry tears of anticapatory joy as I look forward to the new RSS feeds.

Lack of comment on style/template probably explained by comment on RSS, eh?

Are you going to anonymize yourself? I thought that date-blogging thing sounded amusing... :-)

While you're doing all this, make sure to update your blogroll links. Steinn requested that people point to his new scienceblogs home, for instance.

Current style/layout is fine, and will become largely irrelevant as Lemming said once the RSS changes take effect.

Here's a thought, though it may be impractical. Try to organize your posts using subject tags a la Pandagon, so if one wished to do so one could pick out all your Dinosaur Comic posts, or all your movie reviews, whatever. Probably too much of a pain to do retroactively, but maybe it's feasible to start doing on new posts.

i do not even know what youre talking about.

I prefer comments in a separate tab, as I'm feeling lazy about pressing the 'back' button.

Yeah, you definitely need the public and private versions so we can check out the dateblogging. :)

This is totally off topic, but has the pirates and Kevin Bacon thing been explained to you yet?

Reading RSS is like buying concentrate rather than OJ. Style sheets/templates are like those novelty signs with the heads cut out for photo ops. Pop-ups are like Satan shitting on your monitor.

I'm sure that wasn't the least bit helpful.

Lemming: I could make them open in a new window, which would become a new tab in an appropriately configured tabbed browser, but those people who do get a new window might find it annoying. I might do it anyway (I like the new tab as well) but I've gotten into the habit of middle-clicking links for this purpose.

Justin: Going anonymous has its appeal, but I won't be doing it this round. I may eventually do date-blogging in a different location which I would make known through some channel.

I keep forgetting to update the Dynamics of Cats link, and I know there a few others that need updating, so I'll be sure to check those.

The version of MT I'm running on inverse doesn't support multiple tags for posts, which is why I haven't been doing it, but the new host is running a version that does support it, so I'm planning to start this. I may even do it retroactively if I get really bored one day; I can probably assign tags fairly quickly (but 1000+ posts to go through is a little daunting).

Mason: Sadly, I am still in the dark about that.

i dont even know what youre talking about.

I too am in the habit of middle (or cntrl-) clicking. I actually prefer the regular linky style, allowing me to have the option of current or new tab. So, yeah, I prefer it as you've described it. :P

I like the current look and feel. Very clean and readable which is important to your elder readers.
