yarrr...

so, i switched over to the new "beta" blogger last night, because it looks like it has some cool new functions. and i think it will. however, it required a change in my template, and i forgot yet again that the comment service i was using (haloscan) was part of my template. so i pretty much just lost all of my comments. hopefully i'll have that back up and running again soon. in the mean time, don't bother leaving comments, because they'll probably just disappear again when i do get it fixed.
