Yet as often as not, the blog is positively inviting comments, and part of the <em>raison d&#8217;etre<\/em> of having a blog is to allow commenting. Comments very often drive the conversation forward, and are often as important as the original entry.<br \/>\nBut I&#8217;m not able to print those comments out! Try as I might, short of using a really old browser that ignores CSS code, I&#8217;m left to copy and paste comments into a word processor and print from there. I can&#8217;t tell you how frustrating that is. if someone knows how to disable CSS in Firefox that&#8217;d at least be a workaround, but personally I consider it poor design that I can&#8217;t print comments.<br \/>\nObviously I know that I shouldn&#8217;t be killing more trees than need be by unnecessarily printing things out, but the average blog entry and associated comments makes for a far better read than the dreadful free &#8220;newspapers&#8221; handed out by London tube stations for the commute home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re going to produce a print CSS file for your blog entries (nicely formatting a print version, and removing unnecessary page furniture), please include the comments!
