Change the format here!!

If you don't, it will soon die. There can be free speech on the net where immediate comments and answers can be made, or nearly so. But what we have degenerated to now is a few odd people who are one-sentencing a conversation in which no one else has the slightest interest. Over and over again about the same trivia.
Blogs should be entered one day and left two days for comment. The commentsy must however be attached to the blog they comment upon and not in general, or not be directed to a specific person. After two days they are archived and new ones printed.
It might help if you simply leave off the screen names as is done in Free Speech that is printed in the paper.

People could just search through the various news topics and read the comments posted about that story if they are interested in it. Don't just look to the list of recent comments. Especially since right now it is filled with mostly my comments. I have been reading different news stories and commmenting on them. Other bloggers may not be interested in what I am blogging about so maybe it would be better to have a list of the news stories to the side rather than the comments so people could choose what topic they wanted to read about.
It is a good site though. It is user-friendly.
