Comment, comments, comments . . .

So, in checking the site this morning, I noticed that we had lots of comments from last night and early this morning. It looks like we're getting pretty popular. Here's a sampling of what our readers had to say . . .

Nice idea with this site its better than most of the rubbish I come across.

Thanks Anonymous. I agree. Most sites are absolute crap!

What a great site, how do you build such a cool site, its excellent.

Thanks for the compliment. As to your question, it's actually quite difficult to build a site like this. There's lots of clicking of buttons, choosing radio buttons, and sometimes even typing.

Very pretty design! Keep up the good work. Thanks.

I'm glad you like the design, but I have to give all the credit to Joe. He came up with the idea of using a motif of "a lot of black, and maybe some gray text to help with readability."

I love your website. It has a lot of great pictures and is very informative.

You must be referring to either the blogger logo or Joe's certificate indicating that he's a finalist for the Da Vinci code game. In either case, those aren't our pictures. But I'm glad you find the site informative.

Looks nice! Awesome content. Good job guys

This comment was in reference to Joe calling the guy Jack knocks out on the airplane Vegetable Lasagna. I'm glad someone got that reference. It was pretty arcane. This is why I went with calling him Vladimir Putin.

Very best site. Keep working. Will return in the near future.

Well, "very best site" might be a little strong. We're certainly not in Jakob Nielsen territory, but I appreciate the sentiment.

Hmm I love the idea behind this website, very unique.

You may be surprised to learn this, but there are actually a few other people who liveblog events, even some who live blog 24. What makes us unique is that, as you can see by the comment from anonymous we aren't rubbish.

Your are Excellent. And so is your site! Keep up the good work. Bookmarked.

Back at you anonymous! I like your site too. I especially liked how it was a list of links to various topics. That's definitely helpful, and I bet your Google page rank is tops!

Again, Joe gets all the credit for the design. Although, I did make a change so that the date of the post appears, rather than just the time. So, it's sort of a collaborative effort.

I'm impressed with your site, very nice graphics!

You must be referring to the way in which we use our words to draw mental images that make you laugh, and sometime think. So, thanks!

Your are Nice. And so is your site! Maybe you need some more pictures. Will return in the near future.

We like to think that we are nice. So, thanks for that. Our site, however, we prefer to think of as edgy. You know, the kind of site that sticks it to the man. Probably deep down the site is nice, but there's a hard exterior that you won't be able to easily penetrate. Oh, and thanks for your suggestion about the pictures. We look forward to your return!

Your website has a useful information for beginners like me.

I'm afraid that you've hit on a common misconception, anonymous reader. This site is not really for beginners such as yourself. If you want to get started with examining gratuitous violence in television shows, you must first understand violence up close. I'd recommend taking up boxing or head to the front lines of a WTO protest.

Hallo I absolutely adore your site. You have beautiful graphics I have ever seen.

Nice! Where you get this guestbook? I want the same script.. Awesome content. thankyou.

Well, this really isn't a script or a guestbook. This is a web log, or blog. This probably isn't the best place to go into the details, but you can learn more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog.

Really amazing! Useful information. All the best.

And all the best to you to. Thanks for each of your wonderful comments. I'm sorry I couldn't get to all of them. There were just too many to read. I also enjoyed going to see all of your sites. I'm glad to know there are so many resources to find links to stuff.

Oh, and in other news, I've disabled commenting by unregistered users.

Goodnight everyone . . .
