RFC: "Blogifying" my site's top page
RFC: "Blogifying" my site's top page
#1
Well, as anyone who's visited it knows, I use the top page of my site as a rather infrequently-updated blog.  After (re-)compiling a wishlist of new features for my site, I decided that implementing it as a dynamic page with its contents (past and present) in a MySQL database was one of the first things I wanted to code up... and that led me to think about exactly what I wanted in that dynamic page.  I'm certainly going to have the latest entry, tags, history and search...  but should I implement reader comments?  After all, that's really the kind of thing the forums are for, and it's a level of complexity (what with user registration and validation and all kinds of other crap such as input filtering and cleaning) that I'm not all that keen on dealing with, not to mention the everpresent joy of blog spammers.  So I'm inclined to make it simple and one-way. 
Even so, I'm curious as to what folks here thought on the matter.  If enough people say they want it, well, hell, maybe I'll do it.
