Another One of the Lame Posts

Greetings. I haven't posted in a long time, not to mention a post of interest. This one is still going to be uninteresting, but I think I can promise you to write something to rescue my blog from death soon :)

Today I did heavy-duty tweaking, as it should be obvious. If you're familiar with Blogger, you'd know there are a few great-looking templates for you to apply to your blog. I was getting very bored with my old template, Rounders 3—or maybe it's just my blog hasn't been changing its look for a long time due to the lack of new posts—so I switched from my old template Rounders 3 to Rounders 4. Looks fresh, doesn’t it. And this provided me with something to write about. The Rounders templates are very similar, so the process is easier than changing to one of the more different templates. But it still wasn’t a one–click process, since I had to recover multiple customizations I made to the template, and adjust them to fit the new look. But having this experience, my blog’s next face-change will be a little easier. :)

Another excuse for me to write this post is my commenting service, HaloScan's down time. Its forum has been under maintenance for at least a day now, and while I was tweaking the template I noticed the comment links are gone. I’m a little worried—I hope this service won’t go down forever. But it has been up for three years, so I think this is only one of the technical difficulties that will get fixed soon. When the comment links are up, please don’t ridicule me for abandoning Blogger comments for an outside service that has downtimes like this—as I showed you in previous posts, HaloScan has brought you and me many advantages. So long!

Update

The comment links appeared soon after I posted yesterday, but new comments seem to be disappearing. HaloScan maintainers are aware of the issue, and said the new comments are safe and will be restored soon.

New update

The new comments are lost, and cannot be restored now :( I know Fizza posted one, and I could put it back easily like I copied the old Blogger comments when I switched to HaloScan. But I hope there were no other comments...if you posted one and it's not listing here now, could you try again please? Thanks. Now I'm going back to cry....
