Random musings from the PaperDemon admin.

Platform Dev: Comments
I previously mentioned that I would start rewriting much of my code on PaperDemon to become its own platform. Recently I completed a Comment component. I rewrote the old commenting system completely to be easily configurable, powered by sexy jquery and ajax goodness. I can now easily have one set of code to power each comment section for art, writing, comics, blogs and soon I'll be adding comments to photos and possibly other stuff too.
A major part of the comments rewrite was to get rid of the pop ups. Previously, when you went to post a comment, a pop up would appear where you'd type up your comment. Popups are annoying and outdated. Instead, it's now right there on the page when you're viewing an artwork entry. A major strategy behind this interface change is that by making that comment box readily available, I hope it will entice more users to post a comment.
So far, it appears to be working. But I'll be watching the data closely as time goes on.
