New Version in the works

A new version is in the works. Check back in a week or two to see if there are any updates.

The new version will:

Be based on JQuery.

Attempt to fix problems on private blogs where the comments do not show up until the page is refreshed

Other future features I plan to develop include:

Cookies that keep track of read comments

Auto color detection

Update notifier

Get Rollover Comments Now!
