OSNews

When the practical reality (assuming people actually are tempted to use it instead of spewing in standard threads) is that it is OSNews Graffiti, complete with the pissing matches like street gangs engage in?

lol, Looks like a good idea... Looks somewhat i like a mini forum to me.....

I'll check it out later today.

I get to swear and cuss up a storm and no one will know its me

At one point, I thought I invented the idea of a metablog, but now I see it here.

In my case, it was an extravagance of wishing to stop polluting my personal weblog (which I intended to be of a certain sort of writing) with site update news (i.e. "I just updated to Wordpress 1.5 and updated my theme!") Having studied philosophy, I thought "metablog" was a clever term.

I've thought to myself before, hey, this is a good idea. Maybe real sites should do this. Like OSNews, Slashdot, and FARK could all keep their news about their own sites constrained to one area so as to not pollute their content.

This, however, is the first site I've actually seen doing this. Can I ask, where'd you get the idea? What other sites have metablogs?

(keeping myself anonymous as to not embarrass myself by claiming to have invented something I'm sure I didn't)

How about having comments nested. It makes it easier when following a discussion.

.02c worth; add salt to taste and stir.

Since you are experimenting with XHTML, why not have a print media section for making the regular page printer friendly when printed, instead of a seperate printer-friendly page? It works, and this seems like a good site to experiment with it.

I emailed this to Adam, so sorry for "cross-posting" (sort of), but it's a weird bug.

"I've been trying to post a comment in the article "Moderation: Ain't What it Should Be", but can not.

Using Opera and Firefox, I get "You did not correctly confirm the text in the image" every single time. With IE, it simply says "Cannot display the page".

I posted earlier fine, and since it does this across browsers, I have a feeling there's something on the server end."

>>> I said that I tried firefox,

same here...

Actually, in the preview linebrakes were completely ignored for me. Even writing [br] and [/br] by hand.
