So, I’ve been working on a new template for the site when I found out that my “Subscribe to Comments” plug-in wasn’t working on my current template.  I am not sure how this happened as it was working one day, then BOOM, it wasn’t… and I made no changes that would have caused the plug-in from functioning.

The plug-in adds the comments offering readers the option to subscribe but there is no check box allowing for the user to subscribe.

This seems odd, no?

I did some research and I cannot find any other people who have run into this issue.  I looked at code of the plug-in, did a compare of the original and the version I have installed, and they are both the same….  

Since  the plugin is not working properly, I will be deactivating the feature.  After I migrate to the new template I will look into this problem…

Thanks to Wandering Coyote for pointing this out.

In no way is my blog popular.  I usually have roughly 1000 people a day dropping in to see what I am thinking, or what I have found on the net.  I mean, really, how interesting could my thoughts on life be? Regardless of how much traffic my site receives, I want to provide the best possible user experience.

Suddenly it seem as if my Wordpress theme is not fitting my needs in terms of flexibility.  Mind you, this is not a bad layout, it is actually one of the best I have seen, my needs have simply changed.

The ultimate desire is to have a site that provides a clean user experience but addresses all of the needs I have as a blogger.  I do not want to have a cluttered user interface, overwhelming the reader with information.  At the same time I want to provide all the information I see as useful to potential visitors.

So, a few things may be changing in the near future.  No user functionality will be lost, no data will be removed, just a simply change in appearance. I just hope I do not need to create my own theme.

Do you happen to view this site on a mobile device, say like an iPhone or Blackberry?  Well, I have a bit of an update for you.  The site is now mobile device enabled.  

When you come to the site via a desktop / laptop you will see the current site – graphics and all, however, when you arrive to the site via a mobile device you will receive a stripped down, content focused, design allowing for speed of delivery and ease of use.

As a user you need not doing anything out of the ordinary, the server will auto-detect your platform and provide you with the correct version.  If you run into any issues with this implementation, please send me some feedback.
