@Gardner -Just waiting fore you to figure out how we can really use this puppy

@Jeff -It is nice to know you haven’t abandoned me entirely

@Alan-
Was Biff Cantrell using IE again? Did you really have a problem, were you using Safari or Flock?

@Mario -
Comments on IE was a no go for me too, yet another reason not to use IE! Nonetheless, looks like it will be fixed in version 1.1 due out shortly -as I know you already know. This is a pretty cool development for our WPMu install -I’m very excited at how easy it will be for folks to use this theme.

Jim;

I have been experimenting with this theme and the comments are not working for me in IE. Have you had the same experience?

Jim,

Very powerful stuff! I struck out a few months back looking for a theme suitable to publish something more akin to a journal or zine, and what you demo breaks it out of the blogs as date ordered diary stuff.

It’s been tagged with my dormant “Not Cat Diaries” tag - sites published by blogs that dont look (or act) like blogs.

Note- I was unable to get any comments to post from the floating div for the comment entry. Nothing happened on clicking the submit button, and Biff Cantrell submitted a boat load of comments

I couldn’t help myself when I saw this post come up in Twitter, despite my public intentions to ignore your blog until the mss is finished.
This project is really, really important. It makes republishing and using so many historical sources possible in rich, rich, ways.

Took at look at this just before you blogged–saw the “sick” in your delicious links and couldn’t resist–there are HUGE connections here with Engelbart, Ted Nelson, others–can’t wait to play with your Rowlandson upload. You rock.

So many promising avenues of investigation appearing all around us. I always wanted to live in the Renaissance. Now, maybe I’m getting my wish.
