Upgrade: Threaded Comments
Commenting on Diet Blog has been altered slightly to allow "threaded" comments.
This means that you can click the little "Reply" link in an existing comment, type in your comment -- and your new comment will then be displayed directly beneath the existing comment (rather than at the end of the page) and it will be slightly indented.
See below for an example.

That post was utter rubbish! I know better than you and you better get your facts straight before posting your opinion.

Hi Angela,
Sound great!
I'd love to pay you lots of money to be skinny. Oh, and I'd also like to order world peace and prosperity and happiness for all. And I'd like to look 20 years younger too, while you're at it.
Do you take Visa?
Thanks,

This is also a reply to Jims comment. That wasn't rubbish that was marvelous. Blah blah blah.

ReplyHey Fitness Fanatic - methinks something didn't quite work there.
ReplyFor short threads this is a good feature. With longer strings of comments it becomes impossible to follow the conversation because it's harder to know where the new comments are. (It can also make it more of a nightmare when switching blogging or CMS platforms.)
ReplyFitness_Fanatic may just have been testing...
If I untick the "In reply to Jim" box here, does this comment appear in the main thread?
ReplyI can confirm that it did ;-)
And my avatar is now appearing; excellent!
