Hi Bobbi-

I really like the way comments are displayed on your site - is that a plugin, or just your style sheet? Would you mind sharing so I could try to copy it on my site?

Do you mean the way it looks if I reply to someone? Its an option under Settings->Discussion-> Enable threaded (nested) comments

Hi Bobbi!
I'm a librarian in California and I just ran across your blog. Very cool!
University of Missouri where? I went to Columbia.

Question: What kind of education/training did you get to become a "digital" librarian? What are they looking for when responding to a job ad titled this?
Thanks!!
