qwertypunk: Thanks for your feedback. I've now installed the Intense Debate commenting system. I found it really great.

Ileane: I agree with Brian that removing all plugins can help you isolate the problem. Also make sure you're using the latest version of the theme.

AlisonMooreSmith: Tied for my highest ranked post with a few others. Thank you so much!

AlisonMooreSmith: Hmmm. Don't see any downtime in the log. :/

AlisonMooreSmith: Vote for Hesham! Just one more vote will publish this post!

hishaman: mmmm is it 10 votes or 11 to go home page?

AlisonMooreSmith: Good on you!!

AlisonMooreSmith: Auurrrgghh! OK, resolved to write my anti-secret post THIS WEEK. >:-0

AlisonMooreSmith: One of the reasons that I advocate owning your own blog on your own site with your own hosting! BTW, I would have commented on your site, but I don't like being forced to login through other services.

robertbravery: Nice post, and a good list of CSS frameworks

latief: Thanks, love the design ;)

latief: Yes We a need a strategy for that :) Thanks for sharing.

ntrwriter: Is it not possible to believe in a collective conscience but not be a "collectivist"? Is it possible to believe in an idea without subscribing to its most extreme ideology? There is much more to the "Left" than I think you realize. Just as there is much more to the Libertarian, or the right, or the conservative, or the neo-con, or the social conservative. Lincoln also wrote that when the shepherd saves the lamb from the jaws of the wolf, the lamb lauds the shepherd as a defender of liberty while the wolf rebukes the shepherd as a tyrant. In a nation of over 300 million people, can we truly continue sitting on the right or the left and expecting our ideologies to stand up without context. Left or Right, this becomes rigid, unlearning fundamentalism. Thanks for posting your thoughts. I was an interesting and enlightening read.

ntrwriter: Educate girls and women is probably the biggest key. Have you read "Three Cups of Tea"? We continue to get ourselves involved in problems that are best taken care of by others. We cannot export democracy and expect it to stick...in Iraq, in Afghanistan. It's an internal move by the people, not by superpowers throwing their weight around. Great post and excellent points. You could have probably broken it up into two separate articles, though :)
