The reality I've been exposed to is sobering, but it's also very enlightening.

This is as big a challenge, if not more so, than anything I ever did on the field. And I want to be successful."

Last night I did a pretty major, but mostly unnoticeable, upgrade to my blogging software. The most obvious changes you might notice are the option to save your comment posting info in a cookie and a list of the latest comments in the leftmost column on all pages. Other features which may come online soon is the ability to subscribe to RSS feeds of a specific topic, a feed of all comments, and feeds of all comments per post. I'd be interested to here how to prioritize these and also if you notice any bugs.
