yeah my theme is old, but I like it, so I had to use and addon for my comments. The updated version of my theme is “sponsored” so I skipped it.

Hahah! Get out of my brain! In fact I was thinking about capitalization the other day for some reason, and as I wrote the title for this article, I thought about capitalizing titles: First, I need to be more consistent in how I do it, and second, I should probably write about it, in general terms, and then perhaps as it applies specifically to blogging.

And of course there are the cases when you speak about Mom (used as a name) or I talk about my mom (lowercase nominative).

Yeah…I’ll work on that.

Hi Jess! Long time no talk. An amazing thing I found out about WordPress in version 3.1 or 3.2, is that it now has a built-in option for threaded comments. Of course, addons and themes do help stylize the threading; I especially like the way TJ’s comments look. I think the addon you’re using now is the one I was using before I switched to Thesis–good choice!

I would love to see posts on common writing mistakes. What needs to be capitalized? When should I use an ellipse versus a dash? That sort of thing. =] .-= Tami´s latest blog post is Preparing for Resolutions =-.

I still hang out with ya Kes:0 One of my goals since combining all my gaming (yes, I have finally branched out from WoW), and my life in general as well as WoW into lady-jess is to learn to write better. So keep up with those posts, maybe I’ll learn something! I have been a little better at least using spellcheck;) Also, if it helps I’m using an addon on my blog for comments
you can find here http://blog.2i2j.com/plugins/wordpress-thread-comment it worked right out of the box, no tinkering at all, and includes a checkbox to have replies by email.

Happy Holidays to you and yours!
