New Comment Indication?
Is there some way to determine which of the many posts have new comments other than writing down the number of comments each of them have had and scrolling through them, or keeping tabs open for all of them and riffling through them, reloading as you go? If the person running this website agrees, and has the source code for the blog, I’d both be happy to and be interested in spending the short amount of time it would take to write a page that lists, in reverse chronological order, all the comments that have been made to posts.
Excalabur:
75th Trombone is the one paying for our webspace (thanks 75th!), but we’re using a fairly standard EE back-end.
On our old site (using backblog comments), we used to have the most-recent-commenter listed on the main page, which worked quite well. Unfortunately, admin (who all have access to the code) haven’t had a chance to implement something similar here yet. If you’re an EE guru, though, we’d be more than happy for you to do whatever you think works best to improve blognomic.
