HTMLy simple comment system

If there’s a book you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.
After moving to HTMLy, I missed a local commenting system. My needings are basic: I just need a very simple one, possibly based on flat files, not relying on external commenting systems. HTMLy only choices were Facebook and Diqus, none local. So I decided to write one for myself, ending in a slightly modified HTMLy 3.3.1 version.

Ovi HTMLy Theme

After (finally) choosing HTMLy as CMS and Occasio as theme, I started playing around with the layout to adapt it to my taste. Created a new Ovi theme from Occasio, and started modyfying it. Not much work, just some fix around with CSS to set round corners, changed the banner images position, added some trick to handle my previous content the way I liked.

Moving to HTMLy

Time to move away from my previous CMS. Joomla is getting more and more commercial, open source plugins start lacking (other than the "free" underpowered version of commercial ones) and I'm getting sick to update the template I was actually using (Purity III) to match the new Joomla version, to find out there are many little things to be fixed and changed.
