No Comment

It’s been brought up at least a couple of times now: Why don’t you have comments enabled on your site? Good gawd.

And I have no idea what Blogdex is. Hell, I have no idea what Blogsnob is, and I only just discovered what Daypop is. WTF? What are all these weird sounding words? Are they English?
