This helped me see a number of problems with the comment feature. So I've fixed some things. <p><ul><li>A default title for the comment gets filled in.</li></ul> <ul><li>I get mail when people submit comments.</li></ul> <ul><li>People can leave an email address and subsequent comments on the same article will get sent to them. Of course they can edit their comment and remove the email address.</li></ul> <p>I still need to record and display the date/time when the comment was made, and maybe even make an 'atom' feed of comments.... <p><br><br><p><a href=http://neil.brown.name/blog/20060624105307>(No comments)</a> 2005-05-21T22:25:35Z 2005-05-21T22:25:35Z http://neil.brown.name/blog/20050521222535 No entries for several months... Why? Maybe I just lost the urge.. or maybe there is something more. <p>I am a person who is keen on structure. Not everything I do it totally structured, but where structure exists I like to find and make use of it. The thing about a blog is it is largely unstructured. It it just a time-ordered series of thoughts. I think that is great, but I would like there to be extra structure as well. <p>Sometimes different blog entries at different times are connected by a theme. That connection should be made apparent somehow. But this blog doesn't let me. <p>So I tried creating sub-blogs (look over on the right hand side) but there didn't really get anywhere. <p>So where next? <p><a href=http://neil.brown.name/blog/20050521222535>read more...(No comments)</a> 2004-03-23T09:37:50Z 2004-03-23T09:37:50Z http://neil.brown.name/blog/20040323093750 <p>I've taken the plunge and made aether my <a href="http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~neilb/">home page</a>. <p>This required a few modifications to aether so that it could appear as though aether controls the whole name space, but so that pre-existing links still work. You can find the patch I used at <a href="/~neilb/aether/.patches/">/~neilb/aether/.patches/</a>, either in the applied directory if it is still applied to my source, or in the included directory if it has been included unstream. <p>I hope to eventually move all the content which sensibly can be moved into aether across into aether. Until then, my <a href="/~neilb/index.html">original home page</a> is still available. <p><p><a href=http://neil.brown.name/blog/20040323093750>(No comments)</a> 2004-03-21T21:08:51Z 2004-03-21T21:08:51Z http://neil.brown.name/blog/20040321210851 <p>Well, I've been thinking for a while that I should do something more interesting with my home page, and while I was flipping through the latest <a href="http://freshmeat.net/">fresh meat</a> I discovered <a href="http://www.logarithmic.net/pfh/aether">Aether</a> which claims to be both simple and competent at managing web pages and blogs. So I though I would give it a try. <p>My <a href="http://www.debian.org/">Debian</a> notebook already had python installed, so I followed the instructions and it <b>just worked</b>, except that I needed to remove group-write permission before apache would run it setuid as me. <p>Whether this whole 'blog' idea will actually work for me I have no idea - I have a tendancy to get excited about something for a while and then loose interest. If that happens here, I guess it isn't meant to be. <p><p><a href=http://neil.brown.name/blog/20040321210851>(No comments)</a>
