I made more changes to this blog. I do feel I'm almost finished with the changes, but after putting much effort into creating a web log using Simple:Press, I decided that was not really what I needed. I've decided to just used regular posts. However I setup a special category called "Web Log" for these posts that will not show up on the home page, they will only show up on this page. The reason for this is that this page is for quick thoughts, but the main blog, which my home page highlights, is more thought out (or will be in the future).
Also, I decided to go with a third party commenting system. I tried hard to do it myself, but Disqus does it better. I wanted my commenting system to be very open with no login necessary, but I'm setting myself up for trolls if I do that. I don't think Disqus will stop the trolls, they can just setup fake usernames for their trolling, but if they have to put forth some effort, such as logging in, perhaps they will be less likely to troll.
