…and Live Preview is gone: it was the source of the Firefox flashing/resetting comment box problem I’ve been trying to figure out for the past couple of days!

I’ve replaced it with this little slice of deliciousness: Filosofo Comments Preview. (The author even provides canned templates for some popular themes, including Connections. w00t!)

Haven’t made it to those yet. Almost Spring is on my short list #2, right behind subLIMEnal. Blix, draft, and FastTrack all get honorable mentions. =)

Check out Popup Image Gallery and Bad Behavior, too.

My other top choices for themes were Minima Plus, Relaxation (and its three-column variant) and Almost Spring. Connections won out in part because it needed the least tweaking.

The only plugin that I installed was Live Preview, which is what generates the as-you-type preview of your comment that appears just below the comment box.

I’m picking templates right now. It’s sloooooow going, however. Most are pretty bad. You’re right, Connections is pretty nifty; I immediately liked it. (It helps that the 10 just prior to it are junk)

Any tweaks/plugins you currently using?

It took me about 2 hours to do the import, because of the problems that I mentioned; with no issues, it would have been a few minutes.

Picking a template took about 8 hours over several days. I’m anal — your mileage may vary.

Tweaking the site (again: anal) has taken about 12 hours of fiddling so far.

I do have broadband, which certainly helps.

how many hours did this take, would you be so kind as to tell me? and do you have broadband? thanks!
