Thanks Jeremy, So if I //did// want my better Wordpress (I've always wanted the flexibility of TW in a "true blog" setting - wordpress plugins don't measure up to TW plugins) do you think it would be easier to pursue the comment function within TiddlySpace, or would it be better to install TiddlyWeb/TiddlyWebWiki somewhere as a completely separate instance (which is daunting to me as I try to restrict my "development time" to things that could conceivably be done in five minute increments) and go from there?
