I know Blogger doesn't have that function but if you could make each post linkable I can at least use Readability or something else to print out the posts it would be useful.<br /><br />Personally I prefer the grey background and wider text but everyone else seems to be taken with the leaves so I guess I'll learn to live with that.<br /><br />Good luck with the Comments section.Brendan Ealesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-65079452214560878812011-09-07T14:00:54.149-04:002011-09-07T14:00:54.149-04:00Lovely surprise.

It was to say the least a revelation. I am very happy to see Howler opening to comments . . . though I admit a certain trepidation as well.
