HaloScan Comment Template
With the Memorial Day Weekend upon me, I had some free time to take a look at my blogs template for comments. I use a commenting service called HaloScan. I had paid the $12 fee to upgrade my account for a year some time ago, so I have a few extra features available to me.
I had used someone elses template and modified it a little bit when I first set it up to handle gravatars. Today I worked on it for a long time to try to make it look similar to the template on my own blog. Take a look:
It still needs a little work. I’m finding that the worst part of HaloScan templates is that it isn’t applied to the trackbacks view. I don’t use trackbacks often and no one seems to send trackbacks to me anyways.
One feature that I would like to setup is tha ability to put a link back to the original post that the comments are commenting on. Too many times I have received an email linking to the comments when a new one appears, but if it is an old post, I have no idea what the person is replying to.

(The ‘www’ links on this template need a target=”_blank” by the way–external links currently open in the comment window).

I like it. I’m just starting using Gravatars. I don’t think people realize how easy it is. And not my smile will start to show up on all the HaloScan comments I’m made in the past…

Thanks for pointing out that little bug Jeevan!
Everything should be in order now.
