Hail to the chief

I’ve gone back and forth a dozen times between last night and now as to whether I want to shunt all comments to CreateSomething, or open both sites for commenting. This morning I was thinking both sites, ’cause I loathe that the default WP behavior is to have comments display flat, which I think discourages back and forth discussion, and I didn’t want LJ folks to have to jump though extra hurdles. (Let’s be honest here… I’m writing for a small audience here, and 98% of you are on LJ.)

It turns out, there are plugins to make my life happy. 1.) I can now accept OpenID data (username.livejournal.com), and 2.) I can now has threaded comments. Still leaving both sites open for commenting right now - will see how it works.
