There’ve been a couple of suggestions about how to fiddle the layout to make this blog easier to comment on and/or more beautiful.
Suggestions are very very welcome, so please stick them in the comments here and we’ll see what we can do.

Done. It was bothering me too :)
Also done.
Any other suggestions?
Is the comment text larger? It still looks tiny to me. Also, I couldn’t see a reply option on your comment to this post. :-)
ETA: …and is there a way to turn off the emoticon pics?
iona,
I think I actually fixed it this time :)
Thanks for reminding me, they’re off now.
I have a somewhat trivial-seeming request which could help make the site a bit easier on the eyes – can you turn off some of the boldness? It’s all fine for headings and such, but for links, surely a different colour would suffice?

(a minimalist)
hmmmm…
Not sure if there is an RSS feed for comments yet?
Would like that feature if possible… ^_^
Lew,
I’ve debolded the links and pushed up the colour contrast (the burgundy wasn’t enough). Is that looking ok now?
Zorr,
I’ve stuck the hateful Meta widget into the right sidebar. It’ll give you the comments RSS. When I think of something less hateful and have some spare time I’ll do something different :) Is that what you were looking for?
Anita, yes, that’s much more betterer. Thank you.

Whew, much better! I was beginning to worry that several decades of ignoring “stop it or you’ll go blind” warnings had come back to haunt me :-D
Looks pretty good to me, but I reserve the right to bitch later :-D
Does bold work in comments?
Can I up the contrast on links to make them more visible?
Ok, bold’s not terribly bold, but it might be enough tho I could push it if it’s bugging anyone.
Links in comments are now brighter.
Also fixed the multiple page nav now that we have multiple pages.
Anything else?
