So as per my last post, I’ve been playing around with my weblog a bit. I’ve upgraded to WordPress 2.7, which features a completely overhauled administration dashboard. In addition, threaded comments are now built into WordPress, so there’s no need for a plugin. I just needed to hack my theme a little bit to take advantage of this feature. I’ve done a minimal job, so threaded comments don’t look that great at the moment. I’ve added some test comments in the comments section below.
Another thing I’ve done is fully widgetize my blog. So everything that used to be hand-coded into the various PHP files that make up my theme is now a widget (Twitter feed, Google Analytics and so on). This makes everything much easier to maintain, and change, if I feel like it.
In related news, AJ has made the switch to WordPress from Blosxom. I’m pretty sure he won’t look back. I’ve been using WordPress since mid-2005, and I reckon WordPress is getting better with every release (2.7 in particular is a pretty big step in the right direction, IMHO). It’s very well supported, has a large user community, and it just works. Fantastic.
Update 29 Dec, 2008: I’m now using a variant of Chris Harrison‘s threaded comment styling. He’s written a tutorial on how to style your comments.

Threaded comments, huh? Some people have too much spare time on their hands. ;)
Thought I’d use my holiday time to do something useful. ;-)
I’m glad you found what I had done helpful!
Often, the item is printed with a motivational message that the company has been using in their advertising.
What you choose to give as corporate gifts will depend on who you’re giving
them to and your industry (average life time value of a client not what’s customary in your industry; don’t
copy your competitors, it’s rarely a good idea). A customer over-heard the employees talking about the cuts,
and got so offended that she decided to return everything she just
purchased, and left the store.
This can lead to a lucrative seasonal business for you.
Gift baskets are now being made for just about every occasion imaginable and for just about anyone.
Some of them is included with a pen while a few others is given a small stapler on it.
That’s a crkacerjcak answer to an interesting question
