Helen, thanks (?!) for a complete sidetrack into food hell: 20 Unholy Recipes: Dishes so awful we had to make them Those have to be some of the most disgusting-sounding and -looking dishes I have ever seen.

“when you define your comment class in the stylesheet.”

Is that anything like defining the sex class in a feminist manifesto?

Dear Jill,

Have you tried the code featured on this webpage: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_boxmodel.asp ?

Seems like you can add borders to elements. I checked your code, and you should have a class defined just for comments. Try adding this line “border:5px solid gray;” when you define your comment class in the stylesheet. I hope this works, though I haven’t coded in CSS in a year.

Regards,
Blamer

I am drawn back here for sustenance of my anti-patriarchy facilities after participating on what is supposedly a radical thinking newsgroup.

It seems quite a few strappy radical thinking youngsters who claim to be all about human rights and justice and shit like that haven’t a clue that women’s justice has something to do with that shit like that.

Like Gawd! Someone give them a clue already!

Ditto. It’s hard to find new comments when everything is threaded.

“…keeping track of new comments becomes much more of a pain in the ass, because new comments can appear anywhere in the stream…” (Comrade PP)

Yeah, the threaded is a nice idea, but I will miss most new comments that way.

I hate to miss anything!

To cut the healthiness/sanctimony quotient just a wee bit, cold canned baked beans make a great sammitch on Wonder Bread with Miracle Whip. Yum. Comfort food from my kiddie days.

Beans are good sources of nitrogen and iron, a few flavourings and even sugar won’t kill you, glucose is what the brain burns, after all, and hey: life is too short to beat yourself up over a can of baked beans. Heck, some people bathe in ‘em.

Mmmmm. Am off to have baked beans on buttered wholewheat toast, much healthier than chocolate hazlenut spread on white bread, another option….

While I could be speaking out of my backside on this issue, my relentless pursuit of half-baked fixes to whiny wordpress templates motivated me to hunt this down:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/spectacula-threaded-comments/

If I were you I’d see how that installs, because unless your comments are already powered by THAT VERY PLUGIN, I believe I have seen it go as smoothly as a cuppa hot bean sauce on other blogs.

And if not, you can just annihilate it with your e-flamethrower. Hurrah!
