Blog Setup

I think the blog is starting to have all the necessary elements set up. I've modified the sidebar to show a list of the latest comments and a calendar of the current month. Navigation links to the previous and next posts show up when viewing a single post. Several small tweaks went into the pool theme and its stylesheet, like a small indent to post metadata. Now I think we only need a better color scheme and it's looking very good.

I think I should get back to coding now.

Yep its looking good. Nice work.

Yeah I guess we should get back to work

To make following new comments easier, I added the posting times to the Latest Comments list and to each individual comment.

Couldn't help myself.

I'm glad you did, it does make it easier to read.

Now back to work! /cracks whip

I'll see if a can make it so that comments waiting for moderation show up on the post page, but with a different color and no contents until moderation has been carried out. Otherwise it may be a bit confusing if the comment you just posted doesn't show up anywhere...

Good idea. It'll make it easier for admins to manage too as currently we only become aware of there existence when we check the Manage section in admin(?)

I do get email notifications of new unmoderated comments, so it's not that big a problem. It would be nice to show the unmoderated comments as placeholders for everyone, though (with a link to the Manage page for us admins). I'll see what I can do when I have a few spare moments.
