Hey all! I've been needing to do some work on the blog here for awhile, and since it looks like I'm about to get very busy starting tomorrow I figured I better try and sneak it in tonight!

I've had to chnage out the comment engine again.  This time to the new Facebook comment plugin.  I know this may be an unpopular move and I *really* liked Echo (the last comment engine we had), but the price had jumped from $12 a year to $120, and I couldn't relly justify that since I only had about 100 comments last year anyway.  I will miss the cool way it pulled in stuff from Twitter and Friendfeed automatically, but it seemed like the best discussions were either directly "on the site" (no social networks) or Facebook.

So anyway, try out the new comments widgets... it's just like facebook.  Cool thing is if you allow it to post through to facebook as well, then any comments your friends make on the post will also show up here on the blog (don't worry, it makes it clear whats happening when they reply).

Unfortunately, this also means that every post on The Kickboard now has 0 comments.  That kind of hurts, but since I've been so bad at posting over the last 6 months or so anyway, it doesn't hurt nearly as much as it might.  Please let me know if you notice something not working right!
