Added comments to sidebar
I got rid of the calendar feature on the left hand sidebar, and replaced it with a listing of the most recent comments.
I know, it is a pretty boring change, but a change none the less
Does anyone really use those calendar navigation features? I see them on a lot of blogs, they look cool, but I don't think I have every seriously seen any functional advantage to navigating with them.
The first thing I do when I try out a new template is to remove the calendar from my sidebar.
Who looks at a blog's calendar and says, "Oohhh, I wonder what he posted on November 2?" And sure, it's nice to have a calendar on the blog as a general resource, but if you're at your computer, you have easy access to a calendar, so I don't feel a need to provide that "service" to my readers.
All that to say, I like the change!
