I finally signed up at Haloscan and now have comments up here. I don't know if any of my 2 readers will care, but let's see what happens.
After the first outage at Haloscan, I'll probably give up and write my own comment system. I want to keep it seperate from JoeBlogger though so that JoeBlogger is still a client render/FTP too. The comment system will probably be similar to Haloscan in the way it is hosted on a page.
