Comment comments

[davidn]

I've had virtually the same journal layout since its beginning in Something of 2003, when I chose a general style at random and then changed the colours round so that they were slightly easier on the eyes. I didn't get around to editing the links used for "Add a comment / View comments" for a while, but then danbodaxter showed me how easy it was. While looking at my Friends page for the tenth time today, I realised that I have been using the same comment remarks for at least two years and they're no longer exactly relevant - they were taken from a Gamma Ray song on an album I had just bought, and "Damn the machine" makes me sound like some sort of extremist liberal revolutionary. Which can't be more than half right.

I went in to the only moderately confusing style page for my journal and found the overrides box, which twelve year old emonuLJgoths can understand perfectly but which I find virtually incomprehensible. I was ready to change the ancient links, but I hit a major obstacle when I realised that I had no idea what to replace them with. If anyone's got any suggestions appropriate for me then I'd welcome them, because it saves me a bit of thinking and lets me wonder about important things like what else to write about this week so that I have a record fortnight of unbroken days with an entry.
