as undoubtably everyone will hear real soon,
blogger pushed out a major update today. as phil notes, the biggest differences that makes a difference to the average user is comments. things are still a little rough around the edges though, since i tried to enable comments by clicking on the appropriate button in the preference pane. i received an automated reply that blogger couldn’t automatically update my template due to an unspecified error and was given the “code” to manually update the template. when i viewed the template, i saw that despite the warning, i saw that the code had already been added. naturally, i decided to “republish” my site to let you see the results. unfortunately, blogger just whirred away trying to republish, to no avail. so my comments are enabled, but i’ve got no comments. sigh.

matt haughey has also posted a quick review. the first amongst many, i suspect. excuse me while i try to figure out how to really enable comments.

update: hmmm. the post published fine, but sans comments enabled even though the code is in the template. if i’m confused…..
