I finally updated my templates to allow comments, with hierarchical threading. I was looking for a way to only allow 1 or 2 levels of threading, but I don’t think there is one. I was never able to get my AJAX script working with Movable Type 4.2x, so I’ve decided not to use it at all. I was wasting way too much time playing with it.

I also re-enabled comments on all my old entries, as spam shouldn’t be that much of a problem, and I now have a VPS that should be able to handle most things a spammer can throw at it. Unlike when I was using Fasthosts on a shared server so resources were incredibly limited!

I have also replaced the image in the header that said “does it echo?” with sIFR (which does my stylised dates), which I could never get to display the text where I wanted it. Finally I have it just how I want it.
