Couple things.
First, I’ve added some color to the blockquotes, as you’ll see. It’s a little ham-handed, and I’ll be adjusting it, but the basics are in.
Secondly, I’ve spent some time with the comment editor, and gotten MCE working.
I think you’ll like what you see.
Update;
Added cleanup in the header, the SEO systems and little things in the CSS.
I find that MCE in the comments is a little unstable, possibly a JAVA problem. I may remove it but it’s there until I can get a handle on it.
