I always thought of you as a comment woor ;-)

Thanks for the great link to Vicki’s treatise on comments, all I can add is, “Ditto!” One might think of commenting as micro blogging, but its really a different form; as you are responding in context (and in the space of( some else’s thoughts. SO its like being a guest to a dinner and being a constructive part of the conversation, with witty jokes, knee slapping stories, political diatribes, and the occasional faux pas (burp)

oh, BTW, I had an experience of putting my keyboard in my mouth in the comments. I read a post and agreed in the comments. Later that week, read another post that disagreed with the idea and the post persuaded me to change my mind and I left a comment. Another person, who was following my trail – then sent me an email wondering why I was so confused …

It is like a conversation in a way that helps evolve your thinking.

I have put my keyboard in my mouth …

Hmm .. looks like I”m a comment — rhymes with door starts with w.

I thought you had turned co-comment off?

I just presented to National Association of Nonprofit Associations – and I do a 10 Steps to Association 2.0 – http://ncna.wikispaces.com — what are some really ways that busy, over worked, and under resourced nonprofits can take advantage of web20 with a huge time commitment. How can they begin to experiment without it becoming overwhelming.

Well, step 3 – is leaving bread crumbs:

I want to try this experiment too – although I do a fair amount of commenting elsewhere already.

Oh Julie… I am typing this now in Firefox in XP and not seeing any issue with “content being off” to the left. I’d need to see a screenshot and have more details, but cannot confirm any issue.

There is a bit of over run on the footer, but nothing significant.

Any other folks out there confirm, deny, yawn?

Julie,

Thanks for the tip, will check it out. The sidebar lag in appearing is not a CSS bug as semantically, it comes after all the main content. Might be time to tinker with a new template.

Dear cogdogblog guy – in firefox on my pc your content is off about 100 pixels to the left and your side bar doesn’t appear on the side until all the blog entries are done – so something is wacky with your css.

I assume you can fix it, if you can’t emailme and I can take a look at your code.
