Follow up on CommentLuv

If you read my last blog post, you know that I tried to install CommentLuv and it turned out to be such a pain, I had to take it back out. Well, I knew CommentLuv works because I had already looked at other Blogspot blogs that have it installed. But no matter what I did, it just wouldn't work on mine with problem after problem kept coming out.

As I was taking CommentLuv off, the more ticked I got with it because I hate with a passion when scripts beats me. And the more I think on one, I will always jump on one until I get it figured out. And I think I like it when something pushes and fights me. Makes me mad, but I still like it too. I sat here and looked at this thing a long time this evening, so in a way, I have already started working on this one.

I went to one of my other blogs that is more in the line of just a plain Blogspot template. I haven't added very many extras to it other than borders and colors. So I jumped in and installed CommentLuv and it worked fine the first time out. So this pretty much tells me that there is something added on this blog that is working against the scripts of CommentLuv. Now here comes the fun. I have to find out just which script that may be that is causing the problem.

Really I have added a lot of stuff to this blog. Some things I don't need like the calendar date on post, the first drop letter in post, some of the widgets, etc... But I get bored with templates and have to play with them. But I have noticed it is starting to effect loading time and from time to time, some of the scripts installed on this blog has made me work on them when I really didn't want to. And lately I have been thinking, do I want fancy or do I want what works the best. Maybe CommentLuv came along at the right time to make me step back and really take a good look at On The Bricks.
So I guess my next step is to study what I want and what I can do without and make a change in this blog for the better and also if I really want to use CommentLuv bad enough.

Blogger and CommentLuv

What a huge headache! CommentLuv is just not ready for Blogger yet. I spent maybe 4 hours last night working on it and I'm guessing about 5 hours today and still it didn't work right.

Couldn't get the little check box to enable CommentLuv into the comment posts to show up. The area for typing in your site url wouldn't show up. Three comments vanished after about ten minutes and two comments haven't shown back up yet. Peoples names who made coments started showing up as my name made the comment. Comments mixing up out of order. Emails telling me that comments have been made came twice per comment, but showed up as me making the comments.

Couldn't get things going last night, so I went to the help forum hoping to find out why. First off, the Blogger and CommentLuv forum was empty with no posts at all there. Maybe that should have given me a clue. ;) I add my troubles in there and left. It was late and didn't figure I'd get help that late. I went back about an hour ago today to look. I could see where many posts were given help today in other forums, but the Blogger forum had only my post setting there with not even a hello or anything. Not even views.

Hopefully I have everything working again as it was. Except some comments still show me as making them and two others still not shown back up. Oh well, What can ya do! Guess we can't have everything, huh? LOL
