Moving in

This blog theme is a bit ... austere.

Here's  a pici to cheer things up before I get the place nicely redecorated.

Hi Alex,

I'm having a couple of issues with the new blog:

* Comments aren't displayed if you disable Javascript
* The notification when you don't give an e-mail address isn't clear enough

I prefer to browse with JS disabled by default (paranoid as I am about such things), and it would be nice to view comments without enabling it.  If that's not possible, could you at least add a <noscript>Comments require Javascript</noscript> message so that people know why comments aren't being displayed?

Because the * in "E-mail*" is a dangling pointer, I had ignored it and assumed that e-mail addresses were still optional.  Could you add a "* = Required" message below "Add comment" and a "please enter your e-mail address" message directly above/below the "save comment" button, to displayed when the user forgets to enter one?

@Andrew

I think JavaScript is now such an integral web technology it is no longer sensible to fight against it. If you must, use something like NoScript with Firefox and enable JS as-and-when it is needed.

Thanks for site feedback - I don't "do" ASP.NET development (and this is ASP.NET software) , so will let things bed-in before hmodifying anything - nevertheless consider your requests added to the "to do" list Smile

- Alex.

Quotable

Note that everyone directly involved in the development of ISO standards is a volunteer or funded by outside sponsors. The editors, technical experts, etc., get none of this money. Of course, we must also consider the considerable expense of maintaining offices and executive staff in Geneva. Individual National Bodies are also permitted to sell ISO standards and this money is used to fund their own national standards activities, e.g., pay for offices and executive staff in their capital. But none of this money seems to flow down to the people who makes the standards.
