All three course blogs
are set up — links on left — though I am still adding material to two. Liz originally wrote the courseware to take advantage of the SimpleComments plugin, but even though we have it installed on the server I was unable to make it work and so decided to replicate the way comments and trackbacks are organized in this blog. I like Liz's description of what SimpleComments does, but if I am reading her correctly one needs to mess around with perl code in order to get trackbacks to trigger entry rebuilds, and I'm happy with the way this blog works, so what the hey. Maybe I'll monkey around some more later, but at the moment I'm conscious of the clock ticking.
Tick tock.

Still, you're setting the bar very high--nice work!

I don't see any line using Safari; what browser/OS are you using? (These don't show up properly in IE for Mac OSX, for example). I hope you can still read the important stuff...?

Damn that IE!
Scribbled by Joe at August 23, 2004 08:14 PM | PermalinkYeah, they seem to load fine on most mac browsers, though the background images didn't want to load in Firefox. I can't replicate the problem you mention, though IE screws up in other ways. It's a mystery!
