Damn and bugger

Changing my comments system has lost me all comments posted so far this week, despite the fact I thought they were archived. I knew I should have held off until a new archiving week started.

All the old archived weeks' comments are unaffected and should remain so, provided I don't accidentally republish them with the new template.

I did save today's comments on today's blog and will repost them shortly on behalf of commenters. Hopefully the new system will be worth this small loss, particularly if it brings an end to that irritating 400 character limit malarkey.
