Cool Blog Feature
I've just discovered a cool new way to make my blog look more professional. If you click on the Comments in any blog entry, the comments will open in the same window. Blogger calls these "Peek-a-Boo" comments. The method for doing them requires a little knowledge of html, but they don't require you to write anything. You basically just follow their directions and replace the tags they tell you to replace.

Installing these comments has make me realise how neat Blogger really is, it is using what looks like php variables in the html file and when its called up it runs it through the server and replaces the variables with blog entries. One thing I don't understand is how the server deals with multiple blog entries because there is a single set of tags. Perhaps the secret lies in the Html Tag which is obviously neither a PHP variable nor a true HTML tag. My project over the summer will now be create a blog from scratch using PHP and MySQL. If I am unable to have the server do what the Blogger one does with the tag I will have to add placeholder for the three most recent comments. It will be a lot of work but it should prove fun and educational. This means I should probably start reading my "PHP And MYSQL" book now.
