For one, it is slower than heck! I have actually resorted to typing my comments in my text editor then pasting them into the comment box. The live preview REALLY slows things down. It's unbearable. Also, I really miss the ability to subscribe to replies only! I think the new look is great, but the commenting system needs refinement.

I think the main reason I don't like it is because I don't want everyone else to do it. :>) To me, twitter is completely different from RSS... I think it's just in how I use the two. I appreciate your consideration and certainly support you in the decision you've made. Thanks for the design inspiration. -Marshall Jones Jr. Yeah, I definitely see the benefit of combining twitter and RSS to cut the clutter.

You are the real deal. Your vision for bells-and-whistles excellence (ah, maybe more like perfection...) truly translates to your aesthetically perfect & pleasing, easy to read site. The shell really seems to match the core. Ultimately, the powerful content you provide is what keeps me me coming back for more. Thank you so much! ---p.s. i love the missions heart and prayer responsive thinking. --p.p.s - this comment box is really playing with my mind as I want to just keep writing and writing...it's so much "prettier" (lol) than I.D.'s, I vote this one! I agree on 3 follow ups...as I'm not always interested in jumping in on everyone's roundtable...maybe someday there can be a way to click, "take this outside" or "chat about this" for a separate lingering conversation on the subject.

So I think the number is a little misleading. Showing the number of RSS readers provides plenty of info is a much more accurate number, albeit smaller, in terms of reach for this blog.
