@David: you’ll have to open index.php and change the line to read:

comments_popup_link(‘Add Comment’, ‘1 Comment’, ‘% Comments’);

Good luck David, that first comment will come!

For a beginner (searching for his first comment!) how do you change the default “no comment” to “add comment” (point 2)

@Ashish: Good point, I’m actually going to write about link-exchanges and if and when they work coming up…

Pretty good points. Most of them are implemented on my site except the blogroll and print.

I would rather give my commentators more importance and link them than just friends. No offenses but I seen people exchanging links and then never show up…

You did a good round-up, but you missed one issue he has on some of his older posts. They are put into several categories so his title wraps around onto the next line. It doesn’t wrap very well though because the line height is a fixed value so it collides with the beginning text of the post. Should be an easy fix via the stylesheet.css

To Edit the Search Results you can just go to presentation -> Theme Editor -> search results (or whatever it is called on your theme). It should be very easy to see where to put a page title on there inside H2 brackets or whatever you like.

These are some good tips and I’ve already modified my site some to include these. The comment one especially makes sense because ‘no comments’ is pretty unclear for a reader.

I am also glad you mentioned the favicon to him since I too wondered why he didn’t have one. I am also guilty of not having one myself so I understand that it takes time ot get one up.

I am definitely a big fan of chris’s site and I imagine I will become a fan of this site as well.

@Roger: You can get the webPod here. Sorry, but I have enough things on my plate to keep me busy for awhile. Perhaps someday I will do more blog critiques.

Your blog is awesome and I really like that ipod beta. Would you offer some critique on my blog? How can I put a ipodbeta on my blog? Any help is appreciated. TKS
