new for the new year

it took a little longer than “a bit,” but I finally got through updating all the templates to reactivate comments. I wound up reconfiguring all the templates, which in general won’t mean much to anyone but me… though now you will be required to either register in order to comment or use your login from OpenID, livejournal, or wordpress to authenticate (you can do the second option from any “Sign in to comment” link on the site). No more waiting to see your comment show up on the site and less spam for me to moderate! I’ve missed getting comments now and then, so I hope this will make it more fun for everyone.

I also took the opportunity to redo the home page, though I still want to futz with the styling of it. I haven’t really checked this on any PCs, so it might look like crap. I decided to take the risk.

in the process of editing templates, I discovered that the photo postcard form was no longer working because of unrelated changes on the server. I’ll have to figure out another way to send photos via email. for now I left the broken form there because I felt lazy.

I’m sure there will be little errors here and there, but hopefully nothing too huge. I also for some reason decided to reconfigure most of the URLs even though every time I’ve done this in the past it became a bigger ordeal than anticipated (I never learn). so now I have to go through and fix lots of internal links and wonder if the change was worth it! sorry if you came from an external link. you can always search for what you’re looking for.

thanks as always for following uncapitalized. happy 2009!
