Yeah I love the large fonts as well. Our blogs are indeed a minority in the blogosphere!

@Sohail - Perhaps, I may try integrating comments & the article on one page - could be a lot of vertical scrolling though!

@Ilker - Aye, I'll probably linkify stuff once I get a chance.

@Am - Nice to hear you like the larger fonts. I'm a fan too, but I seem to be in the minority with regard to most other sites out there.

Ah! Finally! Finally!

I have been always reading this blog and have been heavily influenced by the design and approach to content. I always wanted to comment, but could not.

Now I can. :)

Finally!! I've been waiting for this feature for some time now. All your posts are really interesting and really helpful. Its better having a separate page for comments because its simpler and looks better on one page rather than it all shoved into one page.

Anyway thanks for all the great content and kepp it up!!!

Nice one - I thought it was a shame there were no comments on the site.

I've used Askimet on various sites and it does a great job. Gravatar drops in and out and I've had to turn it off a number of times. Shame as it is a great concept. Let's hope it is stable now.

You took your bloody time! =P

You know I love the site and I'm really interested to see what comments do for it.

You've always been able to keep everything fairly minimalistic because you've always really only had a very small amount of data to display (simple navigation, logo and the articles) but now that you're layering in user interaction, I'd love to see how you're going to keep everything simple, usable and minimal.

It's an issue I'm struggling with at the moment. I've always gone for the whole interaction thing and I'm drowning in the amount of data I have and what to display.

Wow I can't believe you didn't have a comment system till now. By the way won't it be better if it were on the same page as the articles. Than sending the user to a separate page.

Hey, about time you had comments.
I hear what you are saying about custom built CMS. It seems there is always something else to do and it becomes a never ending slog to change/add/fix stuff.

There is always the lure of Wordpress et al, but there always seems to be a reason not to go 'off the peg'. Perhaps you could write a piece about it? ;-)

Even if you didn't have comments for me to plug myself in :P I'd still read this. You have a bit of everything, and you make it so that stupid people like myself can understand. And I love your diagrams and such, they always add a bit of spice!

Congrats!
I've only been reading your blog for a couple weeks; I'm eighteen, Canadian, and know a sum total of nothing re maintaining a website, let alone programming, so I've yet to figure out why I'm here... But, here I am.

Love, love, love the site. I always head this way when I need some good input.

Oh, and a tiny bug. In one of the above comments http:// wasn't put before the URL and the backend didn't fix it.

So do I. It's marvellous. I'm sure it is not very common on only-english-speaking sites, but have you considered converting to UTF-8? Meh, that's only a thought. Good luck with posting! As well as answering comments...

Feedback is absolutely welcomed - and critical for continued improvement :)

I figured it was time to get to know the readership a little better - and shape the content to fit.
