For those we lost, We will not forget 09/11/2001 “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
— The Continental Congress, July 4, 1776

“The task of statesmanship has always been the re-definition of these rights in terms of a changing and growing social order.”
— Franklin D. Roosevelt (Commonwealth Club Address, 1932)

“Roosevelt was wrong! The principles laid down in the Declaration of Independence are the principles of individual liberty. Our unalienable rights, given to us by God are given to us as individuals. Our rights do not come from society or the government, and they cannot be redefined by politicians. The nature of these rights carries with it the implication of individual responsibility, without which we surrender them.”

Comment UI modified...

I've modified the UI for commenting on posts. There's a bit of text that asks you to read my Comment Policy before commenting. This text also tells you that anonymous comments will be deleted.

I've also changed the way that comment text is handled. Previously if you wanted a formatted comment, you had to code all of the HTML formatting yourself. You still have to do most of your own comment formatting, but if you want to break your comment up into paragraphs, all you really need to do is enter a newline between paragraphs. Newlines will automatically be translated into <br> tags.

Another change is that now you should be able to subscribe to the comment thread for a particular post. So far, you must comment in order to subscribe, and you won't receive a notification of your initial comment, but you should receive a notification for every subsequent comment to the posts you subscribe to.

As always, if you have problems with the new features, send me some e-mail at perri at perrinelson dot com. Bug reports, rants, and raves are welcome.

I'm working on adding a comments Atom feed to every post too. I just don't have that change implemented yet.

Updated: I've implemented the Atom feed for comments now. When you view a post's entry page (via the permalink), your browser's auto-discovery (if your browser supports it) should indicate to you that there's a feed available. That feed is the comments feed.

I've also added a link, just above the comments that allows you to subscribe to the comment feed. There do not need to be any comments to subscribe to the comment feed. As new comments are added and your feed reader refreshes the feed you should pick up the new comments.
