Octopus Hat We have the technology!

Thursday, March 04, 2004   Growing Pains In a procrastination bid I have changed the bolt-on commenting system here at Octopushat. I still don't get why big bad Blogger doesn't natively support comments but whatever... I've been unhappy with "Back Blog" for a while now for a bunch of different reasons and have seen Haloscan popping up on more and more Blogger blogs. Turns out they address most of the issues I had with Backblog, and it is still free! Some reasons for the switch: Haloscan's default template isn't ugly, there is a 3000 character limit on posts (as opposed to the 400 character limit imposed by backblog,) they support trackback (welcome to 2002,) and Haloscan supports RMS/XML feeds for comments! Yippie! SO let me know what you think of the new system, and if everybody hates it I'll switch back... posted by JMV | 3/04/2004 01:41:00 PM |		Octopus Hat Pics From Flickr Other’s Blogs Julie Matt Holohan John Forrest Mary Matt Hals Iason Chun Meli Paul Greg Potter Greg Flores Catherine Links BoingBoing Blogging.la 43 Folders Lifehacker archives < 01/01/2003 - 02/01/2003 02/01/2003 - 03/01/2003 03/01/2003 - 04/01/2003 04/01/2003 - 05/01/2003 05/01/2003 - 06/01/2003 06/01/2003 - 07/01/2003 07/01/2003 - 08/01/2003 08/01/2003 - 09/01/2003 09/01/2003 - 10/01/2003 10/01/2003 - 11/01/2003 11/01/2003 - 12/01/2003 12/01/2003 - 01/01/2004 01/01/2004 - 02/01/2004 02/01/2004 - 03/01/2004 03/01/2004 - 04/01/2004 04/01/2004 - 05/01/2004 05/01/2004 - 06/01/2004 06/01/2004 - 07/01/2004 07/01/2004 - 08/01/2004 08/01/2004 - 09/01/2004 09/01/2004 - 10/01/2004 10/01/2004 - 11/01/2004 11/01/2004 - 12/01/2004 12/01/2004 - 01/01/2005 01/01/2005 - 02/01/2005 02/01/2005 - 03/01/2005 03/01/2005 - 04/01/2005 04/01/2005 - 05/01/2005 05/01/2005 - 06/01/2005 06/01/2005 - 07/01/2005 07/01/2005 - 08/01/2005 08/01/2005 - 09/01/2005 09/01/2005 - 10/01/2005 10/01/2005 - 11/01/2005 11/01/2005 - 12/01/2005 12/01/2005 - 01/01/2006 01/01/2006 - 02/01/2006 02/01/2006 - 03/01/2006 03/01/2006 - 04/01/2006 04/01/2006 - 05/01/2006 05/01/2006 - 06/01/2006 06/01/2006 - 07/01/2006 07/01/2006 - 08/01/2006 08/01/2006 - 09/01/2006 09/01/2006 - 10/01/2006 11/01/2006 - 12/01/2006 01/01/2007 - 02/01/2007 02/01/2007 - 03/01/2007		Me, Elsewhere My flickr page My Space Profile ATOM Feed Comments Feed OctopusHat Super-feed!
