The comment form is pretty straight-forward. The name, site, and captcha fields are stored as cookies so a commenter doesn’t have to enter them each time.

The comments also support Textile and allow comment previews, too.

This was the first implementation of a 3-column layout on my personal site. The left and right columns were a static width, while the center column was fluid. Regretfully, I should have had a max-width set on an outer wrapper, because a wide screen monitor looked awful. Oh well.

I removed the admin section entirely with this version. All of the admin functions were inline with the use of ajax. Upon logging in, a menu would appear. If you were in the portfolio section, the appropriate menu(s) would appear; if you were in the posts section, the appropriate menu(s) would appear; and so on. I later realized that having the admin functionality that way felt a little sloppy, but for this version, that’s how it was.

I kept this version for a while, and was pretty happy with it. I later revised it a bit, but it was based off of this design.
