Like most bloggers, I love getting comments… especially when they end up on the post for which they were intended. Occasionally, however, a comment attaches itself to the wrong blog entry, and some of you have wondered what you’re doing wrong.

It’s Not Your Fault.

It’s not my fault either… at least not directly. Until last night, I had absolutely no explanation for this bizarre behavior. In digging around the WordPress forums, however, I discovered that this comment quirk is a known bug in the particular theme I had been using for my blog. WordPress hosts this blog for FREE, so I have limited control over the design of my site, and can only select themes from a gallery. Since I want comments to function properly, I had no choice but to switch to a different theme.

Some themes allow custom header images, such as the dominoes you used to see. Today I switched to a new theme (so long, Tarski!) and created a new look. I even chose a title for my blog… finally! Today I like it, but tomorrow I might decide it’s too silly, so if it changes soon, don’t be surprised. My blog, my rules.

During my sophomore year of college, a friend who lived on my hall brought me a get-well gift one day when I was sick with the flu. The gift was a pineapple with a hand-written note that read, “If an apple a day keeps the doctor away, what would a pineapple do?” Thanks, Deb.
