Dang these comments!

I just realized today that the link to make comments on my posts wasn't working (That would explain why I wasn't getting any comments. Why don't you people who've tried to comment tell me these things? -_-).

Anyway, I was pretty ticked off about it and thought something was wrong with the blog template I was using, and I had to change something in the html code. But considering my html knowledge ain't great, and the only thing I know about other types of codes like XHTML, XML, CSS, etc is the alphabets in the name of the code, I was pretty lost looking back at my blog template trying to figure out what I needed to change. I couldn't think of anyone I know who could help me try and figure out the problem, except for my brother in the US, so I emailed him. But I was thinking if he couldn't figure it out, then I might have to go to W3Schools (same site I learned about HTML) and do a self-reading crash course in these other programming languages so I could better understand the problem on my template and fix it myself. That would've taken up so much time! And I hate all this programming stuff! Like why do these programming languages have to be complicated?? I fantasize of the day when I can type whatever I want into my comp (eg. "Make my comments form pop up NOW, or I'll throw you out the window!") and the comp will understand and do exactly what I want it to.

Thankfully, I managed to find a Google forum in which someone else posted about the same problem, and got a good reply.

Apparently I just needed to change my comments settings on my blog dashboard, so that my comments form would pop up. So I did it, in all of about one minute. And voila, problem was solved! You can all comment here properly now.

I feel happy and dumb all at the same time! Woo hoo duh!
