This is faster indeed but the red looks a tad weird here. I don’t know something different, but at least the page loads nicely. And I don’t know if you notice but your link to thoseshirt.com works, but the picture doesn’t (on the bottom left). And in OS X the “submit comment” button looks weird.

Hi Frank. Looks nice… a lot like IMAO. Will the url change or will my old bookmark work?

No one else has commented yet? I feel as if I should make some statement as to the numerical position of this comment…

Looking good Mr. Frank. But then you are such a handsome so and so aren’t you.

I don’t really like the slowness of comments being added. I know I added that comment before 8:57. This comment will be added at 11:43 my computer time, let’s see when it is added.

OK then. I guess they were slower before.

>I don’t really like the slowness of comments being added.

There’s a couple of possible reasons for this. One is easy to fix, the other isn’t. And both are part of the standard WordPress setup.

One is a WordPress setting that holds comments for Administrator approval. That can be turned off.

The other isn’t quite so easy (okay, it’s easy, just not always advisable). That’s the Akismet spam filter that comes with WordPress. Akismet could be capturing comments and throwing them in the spam queue. The only sure-fire way to prevent that is to turn Akismet off … but that’s probably a bad idea, since FrankJ’d get spammed out the a**.

The Akismet filter will adjust over time, if it’s the culprit.

By the way, my last comment posted immediately. So the “hold for approval” setting isn’t it; must be Akismet. And, like I said, that’ll fix over time as Akismet is told what’s acceptable and what isn’t.

Oops. My bad. It is the “comments held for moderation.”

Reading is fundamental. I need to learn to read.

Seems OK to me. Are you going to set the comments to open in their own page like before, or do we have to keep refreshing to the home page every time?

Do you remember a few years ago the comments would open in a pop-up window? I really liked that best, although I know it reduces your ad income. It was just so much faster than separate pages or tabs… any chance of bringing that format back?
