update on weirdness

I found out yesterday that Blogger actually has changed some of their settings. This is important to you because I have behind-the-scenes software that integrates Blogger and its commenting system with my regular website pages.

The consequence of the Blogger change is that the software that "talks" to Blogger needs to be updated to address these changes. The developer is very nice and responsive and he created a new version of the software last night. Unfortunately it still doesn't work right with the new Blogger so far.

What does this mean for you? First, it means you will be able to see all the comments nicely styled on the regular webpages fairly soon again. Second, it means for some short amount of time you'll need to both create and read comments using the pop-up box activated by pressing the add a comment link at the bottom of an entry (such as that for Knowledge Dig 2).

At the worst, we should see comments in the regular way by next Wednesday. At best it may be fixed before Saturday morning.
