Thursday, May 05, 2005New commentingI've decided to take Pearly Gates to Blogger's commenting system. This way comments will no longer be deleted because we've reached Haloscan's limits and will be displayed at the bottom of each post's archive page. Also, to make the transition as seamless as possible, I've taken the liberty of importing the last few comments left with Haloscan. Question: Which is preferable: the pop-up comment window, or the fullscreen system (used over at Rob's place)? Comments:Obviously I'm biased, but I think the popup system is kind of annoying in that you can't see as much going on, i.e., it gives you a slightly better preview. But I think from a reliability POV, it beats Haloscan all to pieces. I used to go down for days when Haloscan choked. One cool thing about the Blogger commenting system: no limit on comments. Man, that 4k limit on Haloscan can get annoying. Let me expound on that...using pop up means you can still easily navigate the original page without having to open a new window. You can even leave the page within the same window and still leave your comment. I didn't know Haloscan had a limit on comments. What is it? The number of comments or their length? I haven't been impressed by blogger's comment system, but we'll see. Maybe it's better then when I last tried it out (6 months ago). Pop up is better. All my erudite comments from previous posts are now lost? That's like burning Jefferson's letters to Adams. "I didn't know Haloscan had a limit on comments. What is it? The number of comments or their length?" Both. I believe (though don't take my word on this) that there is a 500 character limit on each comment, and a 100 comment limit on each account. I like the pop up better, and agree with Josh that they make the original blog page much easier to navigate. :) Both. I believe (though don't take my word on this) that there is a 500 character limit on each comment, and a 100 comment limit on each account. Wrong on both counts Richard. Character limit is 3,000 (10,000 for the upgraded account) and there is no total comment limit per account. |
