A minor tweak today... I added a "recent comments" block to the home page. Now you can see if there are any new comments on articles. I'll add a comments RSS feed soon too.
I also cleaned up some 400+ spam comments that had made it through our walls between Dec. 9th and 10th. I've disallowed non-registered users from posting comments. Sad to have to do that, but at least it'll cut down on spam junk.
