Idea
How about creating templates for the comments system that match the themes that are included when you install Radio?

Database problems
By the way, I received mail about the comments system. It was giving MySQL error messages when trying to post a message. That's correct. I wasn't able to login to my account earlier today, and when I checked my mailbox, a message from my hosting provider was there. They are having problems with the server that runs the database, and they're working on it. When they're done, the comments system should work just fine.

Things to do today
Okay, the comments system is in use now at three sites: this one, and two Dutch blogs. If you understand Dutch, please take a look at JW and Bakkel, and see how their comments are doing. Later this afternoon, I want to continue working on the system. Here's what I want to be done by the end of the day:
  • clean up the code, it's a bit messy now
  • create a trackback implementation. I have trackback built into my other, home made, blog, so I can re-use code from there.
  • create the option to control templates
  • build login options for blog owners (to be able to moderate comments when that option gets built in, but also to edit templates, site name, and other things)
  • think of a name for the system ('comment system' isn't a very good name, is it?)
I could do all this in the afternoon and the evening, I think. Actually, I can do more, but there's more work to do besides this. ;)

If you have suggestions, remember to let me know! (use this: Click here to send an email to the editor of this weblog. or the comment link)
