A better way to air your grievances

Blogger doesn't provide an easy way for anyone who writes a comment for a post to know if their comment as received a response. Wordpress has a function that shoots emails to all commenters of a post once a new comment has been added -- it's a decent little feature, but not big enough to make me want to export all my posts and set up shop at Wordpress.

So, while we wait for Blogger to develop more features (and hopefully a new comment-email feature will be one of them), I've added some scripting to the posts here that will now tell you whether or not someone has added a comment since the last time you visited. This involves cookies, so if you would oblige me in accepting cookies from this blog, it's a win win situation.
