Please forgive the look of the entries at this time. I'm working towards adding code from the Scriptygoddess site that allows for expansion and collapsing comments and additional text. When I input the code and rebuild the index page, it looks like what you are seeing. What's weird is that I also input the code into my test site, podbaydoor.com/test1, and it seems to work there fine. So the main site will look like this for a little while until this problem is solved.
In Canada, it is Thanksgiving today. Earlier this summer, I read Dennis Prager's book, Happiness is a Serious Problem. Gratitude is discussed in some detail, and he suggests taking an inventory of the things for which you are grateful, and can give thanks. Here is my list: great family and fantastic friends, food on my table, kindness and smiles from others, a great job with great colleagues, good health, the laughter and love of children, love of music and movies, kind and loving parents, living in a great city in a great country, the opportunity to travel in my job and to meet new and interesting people and see new cities, living in a democratic country, a great boss, freedom to move about without fear, freedom to change and to ask questions without fear of reprisal, the ability to play guitar, having had good teachers, a brother who is kind and a caring friend, a good health care system, neighbours who are decent and responsible, the deep satisfaction felt on my job when I help students with their research, my Mom's butterscotch pie...
There are so many more entries I can make for such a list. Even having the chance to write about this in my blog is a gift. Someone out there (the Trotts in this case) wrote code that I use to write this - amazing. And to you reading this: Happy (Canadian) Thanksgiving to you, and my sincere thanks for reading my entry! :-)
And what's this? Additional test to test the "More" functionality of the code I'm trying to get to work! Thank YOU!
Posted by Randy at October 13, 2002 02:41 PM | TrackBackOk, one thing I see: At the top - where you pasted the code for the show more, and show more comments javascript... after the </script> tag you have a "-->"
That'll mess a few things up - not sure if that's the cause of the problem, tho...
I should note - you do have a "<!--" BEFORE the first <script language="javascript">... those are "comment out" tags... so you're hiding the code that makes the script work... you need to remove both of those. (both the "<!--" and the "-->")
So, I take it back... that probably IS the reason why it's not working...

Posted by: randy at October 13, 2002 05:33 PMOK, I removed the tags, and it still isn't working. Don't know what else to do. :-( Maybe I need to start over from scratch, delete this template and start another one? Might it be a problem in the style sheet?
Could it be related to the problem with "More..."?? When I click that, instead of opening up more of the entry and allowing the commenting feature to appear, instead it takes me to the archives. This is nuts!
