You have the ability to have threaded (nested) comments up to 10 levels deep in Wordpress 2.7. While viewing comments on this – or any Wordpress 2.7-powered – site, you’ll notice a Reply button (assuming nested discussions are enabled). Clicking that will enable you to reply directly to that comment, keeping discussions in context.

This is probably not all inclusive, but here is the basic structure for ol.commentlist as it exists in the Default theme’s comments.php. To take advantage of the new discussion features, Chris Harrison copied this file over to his theme. (You’re more than welcome to roll your own.) For many of the elements, more than one class is used with it. Where applicable, he has chosen the most descriptive class (e.g. li.comment instead of li.alt) as the parent for child formatting.

About the icons:

I was motivated to put these icons together after I scoured the web in search for a circular social media icons set and couldn’t find any decent options. Of the two options I found, one was very low quality and the other was in .ico format. What are we meant to do with social media icons in .ico format?

The zip file includes 3 sizes for 17 icons: 128×128, 64×64 and 32×32. There is an icon for the following: Blogger, Delicious, DesignFloat, Digg, Facebook, Flickr, Google, a heart icon that will work for anything (such as bookmark), MySpace, Reddit, an RSS icon, StumbleUpon, Technorati, Twitter, WordPress, Yahoo! and YouTube.

Please feel free to use Social Media Icons Pack on both personal and commercial projects.
