I know it's been said before, but while designing this blog I really tried to keep it as simple as possible.

Viewing and adding comments should be able to be done in-line (while viewing the main page). On other pages, I always found that when some bit of text suddenly appears and the whole page gets reorganized that I had to re-orient myself before I could continue reading the page. To prevent this I first make room for whatever is going to show up, and then fade it in. It takes about a second or so, but I think it's worth it. Any input/suggestions on this would be great.

Besides the comments, I have a hierarchical set of 'tags', that act as categories, with special cases for the dates.

(On an aside, another benefit of doing the ajax-style comments is that it hopefully will prevent spam-bots from coming and doing their thing. I'm not sure how well the spam-bots simulate javascript, and I'm pretty sure this isn't going to be popular enough for someone to spend the time and figure out what ajax calls I'm making, etc. We'll see.)
