Today we made a change in the way comments function on blog posts that should be good news to users. Instead of showing five comments at the end of a post and pages of comments after that, all comments now fall at the bottom of a blog post, in one long stream. It's much more similar to what our users were accustomed to in the old Wordpress environment, and one that makes discussions and debate simpler.
So: hopefully that's good news! Now, Jon -- how about those links?

Happy Saturday in the State of Hockey ... where our two best-known teams managed zero points and one goal last night. Not a banner day.
On the bright side, Michael "The Greatest" Russo passes along some good news: the comments are about to start working better around here. Hopefully you will now only be one click away from the genius of Stu and Clarence Swamptown, rather than the four or five clicks (and 45-60 seconds) that stood in your way before. Bravo to the Star Tribune for finally seeing the light, and putting things somewhat back to the way they used to be.
A few links for today:
*I'll keep linking to stadium truthers (this one is from Vikes Geek) as often as I can. As much as the league and the Vikings seem to want us to believe otherwise, the NFL is not Lake Wobegon; not every team can be above average in revenue. One team will always, always be last in the league in local revenue. Given that the Vikings have controllable costs (a hard salary cap) and a gigantic TV contract buttressing their revenues (just over $96 million per team this year), I'm having a hard time feeling bad for them.
