It took us a while to figure out the "read more" issue, and even then it took us another couple months to perfect it -- it used to take up too much space and load times. Also, we had a problem at one point because we referenced another website for the code and that site vanished. So we had to bring the code into our own template and it's been smooth sailing every since.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-38539125180558198032010-02-14T00:06:00.816-05:002010-02-14T00:06:00.816-05:00Figured I'd better come back and correct mysel...Figured I'd better come back and correct myself. WordPress.org <em>does</em> allow nested comments. I just couldn't find it in the menu because I'm a moron.<br /><br />I also just figured out how to do the "read more" where it opens on the main page like at your place and Ace's. So WordPress.org would meet your needs after all should you decide that it's worth the trouble to migrate.Gordon Winslowhttp://idolpundit.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-50713459236544536092010-02-13T23:24:06.556-05:002010-02-13T23:24:06.556-05:00You're welcome Mega.You're welcome Mega.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-9418076080155247312010-02-13T22:47:12.156-05:002010-02-13T22:47:12.156-05:00Nice try.

Unfortunately, WordPress.org, which in other ways allows a lot more freedom, does not (or, if it does, I haven't been able to figure it out).<br /><br />If you feel like going so far as a platform switch, hit me up offline and I can give you the pros and cons of each from the perspective of a technology amateur who has had to muddle through learning both platforms.

If we can ever figure out a way to bring IntenseDebate (or something like it) back without constant breakdowns, we will. Until then, it's more important that we hear from you and respond than to have a sexy format that doesn't work.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-89974581720920535842010-02-13T14:09:15.048-05:002010-02-13T14:09:15.048-05:00That’s a bit of a drag.
