A word on Comments.

I have decided to disable comments. I always felt like having comments on a page created additional pressure on the author to write something for the audience.

I feel a journal is not to be written for an audience, however, but instead to function as a place where you can record your own thoughts.

I've been trying to do that on xanga, but with the whole comments thing and subscription list, it's just hard to express your own thoughts honestly without wanting to alter it to make someone want to comment.

(you know, kind of like a damned popularity contest.)
