Ajaxy

Ok, so I've taken advantage of some Ajax (Asynchronous Javascript and XML) to make the site a bit more user friendly, in my opinion. A few of the things I've done:

--Now using XMLHttpRequest to send form data. This allows for form data to be sent easily, using the POST method, without refreshing the page at all.

--

Inline post editing. Clearly, this is something that only I see, but now I can edit the posts from the main page without going to some other form. A form opens up where the post was, I can edit it, submit it, and the post is back to where it was before, with it's new content in place.

--Commenting. Users can now comment, and when they do, the comment is automatically inserted below the last comment, in place of the comment field (using the fade anything technique). Not only does this look cool, but it prevents spamming to some degree as the form disappears after one comment is submitted

In addition to those Ajax things, you can see I changed the theme some (I know it emulated Wordpress' Kubrick, but it's not), added a new banner (thanks to Motts at Opacity.us ), and cleaned up the stylesheet for some added effects.

Something on the docket now is to improve the navigation on the left side so that it also uses javascript/ajax, perhaps dropdown menus or something of the like. All in all, I'm much happier with how the site looks/acts now than I was before. Let's see how long it lasts.
