Okay, I have done SOMETHING with the comments section...
Now when you comment, a new window should pop up. It isn't perfect, but at least there are pages now, and you don't have to keep reloading to get to the newest comment...
This is all VERY annoying.
Oh no, it's much better this way. With the pop-up-ness, I mean.
ReplyDeleteKisses!
xxx
sweet. go to me blog! nice comments section btw. oh and i did a book review for the death bringer! a good one too!(on me blog)
ReplyDeleteDear me, this will take some getting used to...
ReplyDeletepretty cool how you changed the comments, i think i should do this on my blog.
ReplyDeletedeath bringer book review is on the second page, or "older posts"
ReplyDeleteOh, look at this. Just like you said... well suppose there's always some kinks to work out when you change something drastically.
ReplyDeleteSo Derek, tell me about the various injuries as a result of martial arts. I'm currently sitting here with all the knuckes on my right hand bruised becuse I failed to wear hand gear when breaking a board. I was amazed how fast the brusises appeared. I'm talking seconds. So, I will go and ice my little hand now, meh.
-Molly, shaking her hand trying to get it to stop hurting and reminding herself to tell all the little white belts to wear hand pads
Hi Derek! Will there ever be a global contest? I'm asking this because I live in a backwater country in South East Asia, where your only fans are people who had the unfortunate fortune to move here, and even though there are quite a few of us, were very little compared to practically any other country in the world. Due to that, we never really get to join contests.
ReplyDeleteHey people.
ReplyDeleteHey when will Skulduggery Pleasant book 7 come out in Australia?? Ive read the first 6 books too many times i think i know all the words! I love your books I hope you continue writing because your books are the only books I read. <3

No one could forget all your firsts Sparky.
ReplyDeleteGot to hell Izz.
ReplyDelete(Not literally)
Check out The Straight Jackets, I think we need a motto.
Thing is I've already been there. It's terribly hot but good old Aus tops it.
ReplyDeletehmmmm. I'll think on it.
Well of course you've been there, you're a ghost.
ReplyDeletePICK A MOTTO, ANY MOTTO! Especially the second one.
Well of course you've been there, you're a ghost.
ReplyDeletePICK A MOTTO, ANY MOTTO! Especially the second one.
Well of course you've been there, you're a ghost.
ReplyDeletePICK A MOTTO, ANY MOTTO! Especially the second one.
Why'd that post three times?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, gotta go.
Right then. I stick by the first one.
ReplyDeleteServus.
Yes Izz, I do know that skullduggery is underhanded, sly trickery. And it is a skill that only the truly insane can master.
ReplyDeleteI guess that makes sense, considering sociopaths.
ReplyDeleteBut I still like the first one best.
FIRST COMMENT FOR ME YAYZERS
ReplyDeletegoldengod... u look like my dad....
but u are better of course......
(whimpers) if u come to aus any time soon, make SURE you come to adeliade coz we r mad 4 u trust me!!
*yawn*
ReplyDeleteAuf wiedersehen alle.
ReplyDeleteIt's a pity there isn't a way to combine the best features of both comment modes - the reply feature of the new version and the separate pages (and better spacing) of the old one. Still, I do like this one better, even with having to use the pop-up!
ReplyDeleteDEREK YOU ARE BRILLIANT!! YOU BRILLIANT MAN YOU!!
ReplyDeleteRight off to school with me!!
Bye!!
Is there anyone here?
ReplyDeleteTESTING TIME!!!
ReplyDeleteIt appears that the text is blue...
ReplyDeleteHow odd. The text on the pop up is blue, but on the log it remains black.
ReplyDeleteIntriguing...
weird but convenient
ReplyDeleteDerek Landy you are a genius for coming up with skulduggery pleasant!!!
ReplyDeletehey anyone here
ReplyDeletehi... anyone here
ReplyDeleteanyone damnit
ReplyDeleteoh well by everyone or no one anyway BY DEREK GOLDEN GOD :)
ReplyDeletethis is both strange and fun at the same time
ReplyDelete........
too bad my pop-up blocker doesn't like it XP
YAY!!!
ReplyDeleteAny one there?
Youpoor thing having to organise your fan mail, so hard but the effort is appreciated
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic!
ReplyDelete...Now, how'd you DO it?
This is probably really ungrammatical. I think I should go to bed now...
It's so much better now, but I do miss the old blog! :L oh well thanks Derek for making it better than how it was before! :)
ReplyDeleteInteresting.
ReplyDeleteSo, I'll be able to see new comments without re-loading? Cool.
ReplyDeleteHi Ayesha
ReplyDeletewell this is slightly confufling you know but oh wells.
ReplyDeletewell tiered and my eyes are itchy :O
oh and what the hell are HTML tags??????? still confufled.
ahhhhh bloody red squigly lines!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! who cares about spelling outside of school
*scowl*
so hi derek haven't been on for ages (excluding yesterday and some other times)
I will leave on a happy note for some, the rain has stopped (the not some are ducks, frogs, and all things that like rain)
Oh gosh. New technology. SOOOO not my strong point. But anyway, hi everyone :)
ReplyDeletexo
Hi Vita
ReplyDeleteHo Sabrina
ReplyDeleteHi you to!
ReplyDeletePOTATOES
Hey guys :)
ReplyDeletex
Yes, I think thats better than the load more thing.
ReplyDeleteWait- there is a newest button! Not here, because there are just 147 comments yet, but at the blog entry before! YAY!
ReplyDeleteHello...?
ReplyDeleteHmm.... I've seen this around before.
ReplyDeleteAnyway although I prefer the old system at least I can actually comment now.
So that's a great postive right there.
HI all- I prefer the old comments section too, but Blogger may have thrown that out. Pity.
ReplyDeleteMolly asked about martial arts injuries. Thankfully, I've really only had the usual cuts and bruises that come from getting punched in the face, and nothing more dramatic. Apart from a broken tooth. Which was HORRIBLE.
Milo, a global competition isn't a bad idea at all. It'd have to be later in the year, though. I'll look into it.
Kallista was asking what I'm going to write when Skulduggery is over. To be honest, I don't know. I doubt I'll do a prequel, because I just don't like them, and as for a spin-off featuring another character... The fact is, I don't know if the world I write about will even be around after Book 9...!
One good thing about the new comments section is that now the little pictures by your names are bigger, so for the first time I'm realising how pretty Suzanne Korb is. Hi Suzanne!
Oh my goodness I'm on line when Derek is!
ReplyDeleteThat's like the third time ever.
HI DEREK! I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY!
THE OPPORTUNITY IS HERE BUT I'M CEASING TO TAKE IT!
Oh. Yes. Let me tell you something amazing.
ReplyDeleteYou Oh Wondeful Golden God have brought about love through this blog of yours.
Two bloggers Niall and Ven, met through this blog, fell in love and now they are meeting up in real life at ComicCon this February.
Doesn't that make you feel warm inside?
Also umm.... things to say things to say...
I watched the Lion King today... no not that interesting. I set fire to a work bench accidently in Chemistry.
OH! OH! YES I KNOW! I GOT A POEM PUBLISHED IN A REAL ACTUAL BOOK!
Octaboona.. impressive! Both about the poem and about setting fire to your chemistry lab!
ReplyDeleteAnd Niall and Ven, eh? Ah, I do what I can to facilitate young love but who knows what good I TRULY do? Finally, I have proof...
DEREK, HI!!
ReplyDeleteHow many words now (in book seven)
And do you know a title yet??
Valice, I shall let you know when I've reached 25,000! As for a title, I think I may have one... But I'm not telling!
ReplyDeleteCool! Derek, i've read your books since Playing with Fire was released, but I think that the books keep on getting better!
ReplyDeleteHi Derek!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou still on??????
ReplyDeleteWhilst we're on the topic of love you have brought into existance through your blog not one couple but five.
ReplyDeleteAlthough Niall and Ven are the only ones who live close enough to meet up.
Just for your information the five couples happen to be
Niall and Ven
Kallista and myself
Lego and Genesis
Pyro and Red
Aquila and Dragona
Also repeating the request of Lego and Gen, they are getting blog married some time this summer and they would love it if you could give one of them away.
I really am just speechless right now.
Also I now have been referred to by name by you eleven times now.
I do indeed keep a list of your awesome comments. I treasure them dearly.
By the way, I think this new comment section is great!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I think this new comment section is great!
ReplyDeleteMe reading the previous comments:
ReplyDeleteDEREK'S TALKING TO PEOPLE!!!
COME BACK TO AUSTRALIA!!!
The last time you came my librarian developed a distaste for you, because you wouldn't come to my school, on account of it being an all girls high school.
BUT I GO THERE!!!
And trust me, if you say ANYTHING about coming back, I will begin each school day on my knees, BEGGING HER TO GET YOU TO COME.
SO PLEASE COME BACK!
Octaboona, it warms my heart...!
ReplyDeleteMelanie, you have wonderful taste in writers, you know that??
Hi Pink Rose!
Hi ShayShay01- welcome!
Ok, now I'm going to spend an hour with my nieces, and then I'm going training. Later on tonight, I'll be back writing.
Probably.
Sparky...! I don't know WHY there was a problem going to an all-girls school. The fact is, I prefer going to all-girls schools. They're just so much more FUN, and I have such a laugh.
ReplyDeleteI think, for my next Australian tour, whenever that may be, I ought to make it clear to my Australian publishers that I rather like visiting all girls schools, thank you very much!
Derek??????
ReplyDeleteYou on??????
ReplyDeleteOH PLEASE BE ON
ReplyDeleteOh! I know what I should have said when I had the chance.
ReplyDeleteShould I be worried that my Friend Get Friend books haven't arrived yet? Because I am.
Have fun with your neices. I'm sure they shall fall over a lot and you will be amused. At least that's how it normally goes right? :D
Oh Mr Landy! I'm glad you got your blog sorted!
ReplyDeletePlease say you read my handy advice on your last post (it was rather handy, wasn't it?)
If not, it's coolbeans too :P
Yes this comment system is definitly WAY better :D
ReplyDeleteHi Quinn!
ReplyDeleteHeya Pink! Hi Octa (if you're around)!
ReplyDeleteHow are you two?
I wonder how long it is before they update the popout window too...
Hi Quinn!
ReplyDeleteI'm off to the chat.
ReplyDeleteHullo!
ReplyDelete*wonders if Derek did read her little post*
Ah well, it matters not :P
See ya, Pink!
ReplyDeleteI'm good.
ReplyDeleteI think you know all my current news. At least you have read all my new posts.
Did you read about Top Hat Tuesday and the setting fire to my workbench with cyclohexene?
Derek Landy?????
ReplyDeleteBye Pink!
ReplyDeleteAlso which little comment is this?
Actuall I'm gonna stay here cuz NO ONE is on chat.
ReplyDeleteI did read Top Hat Tuesday etc. T'was all very exciting but my fingers were frozen at the time so I couldn't write a comment very well :P (What? It's cold, don't judge me :P )
ReplyDeleteAnd it was a comment describing the changes to blogger etc. and a way in which he could fix it (this way, actually :P )
Okee dokee, Pink! 'Tis always good to have you here :D
ReplyDeleteDammit. In the short 5 minutes in which I ate my dinner, Derek Landy left. :(
ReplyDeleteAwww :( That's a shame, Rose. Well, maybe he'll come back, some other nice little day.
ReplyDelete(Sorry I keep switching names with you... I haven't been on in a while)
ReplyDeleteIt's fine really :P We've been experiencing the cold weather too.
ReplyDeleteAh. Derek must either have read it or you are just that awesome :D
Welcome back Pink!
ReplyDeleteThat's a shame :(
Welcome back Pink!
ReplyDeleteThat's a shame :(
Also this new comment system is much more prone to double posting.
ReplyDeleteOh, there is actually people on chat.
ReplyDeleteEither or :P
ReplyDeleteGah, I've been so busy lately! School and such...
I've to go now. Do homework. :(
ReplyDeletebrb
ReplyDeleteI feel like that comment was a bit to short to qualify as a comment. So I wrote this bit.
Yeah, I double posted on your blog by accident, and now I've deleted it :P Now it looks like I said something fishy in your comments section :P REG
ReplyDelete(Do we still REG? We should so bring that back)
Okilee dokilee.
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna get started on some work, will check back here occasionally.
I am returned. For a short time atleast.
ReplyDeleteOoops. Forgot to go back to my Octaboona account.
ReplyDeleteAs you are aware I was March's Secret Santa.
I saw it when it was a double post so I knew it wasn't fishy :P
Oh and yes REG is still a thing.
ReplyDeleteThriving and happy it is too.
How alternative am I?
ReplyDeleteHmm... that made no sense as it cut out the first bit of my comment.
ReplyDeleteNever mind. Twas an attempt at alternatism.
Also have to go now and eat supper.
Anyone on????
ReplyDeleteHmm. Well, have a nice supper. I must be off to play piano and stuff- sorry I missed you- I got caught up :(
ReplyDeleteSorry to leave you The Shadow Ripper (Rim) *hands him/her a cookie because I've never met you* I'm going to call you Rim, okay? It was lovely to meet you, but farewell, Rim!
bye....
ReplyDelete
