It’s been bugging me for a while that my comments section has been linear. I really like replying to comments, but there’s some mysterious power behind that linear wall that makes me feel if I respond to a comment, it has to be meaningful or insightful. But comments don’t have to be soul-altering paradigm busters. It is perfectly okay to say “I agree with you agreeing with me” just for the sake and joy of replying to someone who took the time out to both read and say something about your creation. On a small blog like this, a comment is probably the greatest praise you can get, and a reply is the biggest gratitude you can offer to thank someone for that warm feeling they just gave you.
All of this I know to be true. But, gut intuition rules all that I do, and my comment section was kicking me sharply in the lower intestines.
It turns out, WordPress has had threaded comments available by default and has had it for a while now.
Who woulda guessed? I probably should’ve. But now I know, and knowing is half the battle. The other half is violence.
At any rate, you may now return to your regularly scheduled program. Today’s motto: If you comment now, I will probably tell you I love you in a creepy stalker sort of way.
It may have been a short and meaningless post, but you still get a fortune cookie:
You can take the man out of the forest, but you can’t take the forest out of the man. Don’t worry though. His high fiber diet will ensure it passes quickly.
You’re a threaded comment. (dunno, felt like saying something)
Your face is a threaded comment! (And in a single swipe, we have just reenacted the very essence of all threaded discussion on the Internet. Yay! This IS fun! Thankies. ^_^)
Your mom’s face is a threaded comment.
I couldn’t stop myself!
Roy’s mom’s face is a threaded comment! (Roy’s Mom: The definitive next step in the “your face” progression.)
