Yep, the comment link was fixed a week or two ago, now it seems broken again. While we're on the subject, is it possible for HN to add the time correctly? I always get this in my RSS feed (look to the right): http://i32.tinypic.com/j0bgyc.

We have been using Slicehost's 256MB slice for a little over two months now for a PHP site and haven't had any issues; uptime has been excellent and support is great. The fact that they are one of the few providers to offer Arch Linux is an

Hmm, actually it might depend on the theme you're using. I'm using the Ollicle Reflex theme ( http://www.ollicle.com/2006/nov/28/jquery_netnewswire_style.... ) and it displays the comments link neatly in the right column.

I brought this up a while ago here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35363 I was using Google Reader, and there was no comments link, but have since switched to NetNewsWire (OS X) where everything works correctly. It doesn't look like

God, I hate WebCT. My school currently uses it; it's poorly designed and even harder to navigate.

I am concerned that Hacker News doesn't even have a DOCTYPE in the source code.

I don't. I prefer to create content-type websites that require no up front capital (aside from time and hosting coosts) or "investors" and build quality backlinks, focus on SEO, and continue the process until I have 5-10 good websites. From
