“Comments” are one of the most neglected areas of this site, so I am happy to annouce that I finally got around to adding Gra­vatars func­tion­al­ity to this site’s com­ment post­ing. If you have a Gra­vatar, I’d love to have you post a com­ment and show it off. If you don’t have one, get one… they’re a nice way to per­son­al­ize your comments.

I’ve been admir­ing both Casey’s work on Jess’s weblog, and John Oxton’s impli­men­ta­tion, and cam­paign to reg­is­ter Gravatars… it’s kind of nice to see com­ments get their due…

I would sus­pect that the Six Apart people are think­ing about adding some­thing like this — it seems almost ready-​made for Type­Key. But, we’ll see.

UPDATE: I noticed today that Waferbaby also added user icons…

UPDATE #2: Zooiblog too

I’m tired of main­tain­ing my link log within my MT instal­la­tion. It was some­thing I hacked together a long time ago, and never spent the time to prop­erly sort out.

Daily book­mark­ing is becom­ing quite pop­u­lar these days… I remem­ber when Anil’s side­bar was my daily lunchtime read­ing. Now, I’ve got a news aggre­ga­tor with hun­dreds of feeds going.

Enter “Social Bookmarks”… Del.icio.us is fill­ing that niche for book­marks that Flickr is for photography… It’s an easy ser­vice to use, hosted off-​site, which can be quickly inte­grated into your exist­ing web log. And, there is that “social” com­po­nent, which encour­ages com­mu­nity sharing.

So, as you may have noticed, my del.icio.us book­marks are now updated, in-​line, once per day. RSS feed is avail­able as well.

UPDATE: Some­one that I know, (and that I may or may not share a bed with), has her own del.icio.us feed going.. So, the schism has begun… with RSS.
