So I tried to add some comments to my blog, but the first thing I tried did not say how many comments existed, so that sucked. The second one seemed like it was going to work until, for some reason, it would not execute the function in an ASP page. I think it has something to do with access privileges, but I am not sure. I will still work on it occasionally, and maybe I'll get it... I may end up using Steve's weblog code that he wrote. My only reason not to use it is laziness -- it's hard enough to get me to want to update my blog, let alone have to setup a template again, etc.

A couple of thoughts about what is weird in Europe:
1) It's weird how the windows do not have screens on them. Bugs can just get into the house easily. At night, AnneJulie will plug in a "bug killer" type of object into the wall, which will release an odor that humans do not smell but it will kill the bugs. It's strange. In a lot of the rooms, at night, you use metal or wooden covers that go over the windows. It basically "seals up" the house. I definitely prefer the style of the US on this...

2) When you build a house, you cannot have windows on the side of the house if you have a neighbor next door. This "invades the privacy of your next door neighbor". I guess if you design a house that has windows on the side, the project will simply get rejected.
