🦋 Comments are open

Ok: All the time I've had a blog I've wanted to host comments. And now I do, at least in a rudimentary fashion. You need to put <br> and/or <p> tags in your text if you want paragraph separations. html is allowed for now; indeed security is almost entirely lacking. It would probably be possible to break my software; please don't try. Or at least, send me a note if you have an idea for something that could break it.

Update: I fixed it so you do not have to markup your paragraph separations. Yay me!

Update as of Wednesday morning: Here are some more things you can newly do: Include apostrophes in your name/handle, and not have them show up backslash'd; include apostrophes in the body of your response, and not have the whole thing chucked out; include links in your response and not have them stripped out. I am using tidy to clean up the html in the comments and it is a temperamental thing. Powerful tho'.

Did you code this yourself?

Yes, all the code is my own -- about 3000 lines of php in several files, and 15 tables in a MySql database. The Javascript is lifted , with modifications, from Unfogged. The formatting is lifted from a couple of different sites css files, principally Alif Sikkiins which I think is one of the most nicely formatted blogs around.

The php is a rationalization of my old blogs code, which was asp and was extremely clunky.

(Make that 2000 lines -- a 500-line file was getting triple-counted. Also apostrophes should work properly now.)

Looks good, and I'm glad you've finally got comments!

We need a substantive comment now. But this is good!

My German project is Lichtenberg, who as I understand didn't think well of Novalis. I just got a genuine 1939 Nazi Fraktur edition in the mail. But German is hard work for me, and the NYRB translation doesn't reference the German text.
