I’ve removed the Haloscan commenting system from the Broadsheet. No one was using it, and all it did was add another point of failure to the blog: slowness on Haloscan’s server would cause my own pages to appear to load slowly every once in a while.

I may add comments back in later, but probably with local code. I’m slowly moving my main web site over to Django; when I’m done with that I may convert my blogs over to Django also.

In the meantime, the old-fashioned comments remain available. They’re available right beneath the list of available articles from any Broadsheet page.
