commenting system. However, my initial target is to "change" the
"design".Later, the server side improvements.

I initially wanted to add open-id functionality to the site.. So, I tried
to setup the website to run locally but I ran into too many toubles
configuring it.. I think some areas of the website are too system/
package-version dependent. So, configuring the system was horribile for me.
Thought to put the task aside for a while.. and pick the "design" as there
was a lot to do (in fact, I am just a novice in design part.. thought to
improve skills too) what do you say?..

Also, reading others code isn't part of my 1st task (which is very hard -
at least for me) as I just got to develope things from scratch!!
