In an effort to fight comments spam, I previously closed comments to registered users only. So if you wanted to comment on my posts you had to register first.
I have now installed a new plugin, that will allow you to write a comment without registering first. All you need to do is write the code displayed in the image next to your comment.
Of course you call still use your registered account as well.
Hopefully this will work and render commenting easier.

I’ve installed a new plugin to allow me to write one single post in two languages. You should see the little flags on top, English and Italian. Clicking one will show the related text and hide the other. This won’t work in the email, so visit my site and let’s see if it works.
Ho installato un plugin che mi aiutera’ a scrivere in Italiano ed Inglese. Dovresti vedere le due bandierine, cliccando l’italiana vedrete questo testo in italiano, e l’inglese dovrebbe sparire. Pero’ non funziona nella email. Quindi visitate il mio sito e vediamo se funziona.

I just installed the Live Shoutbox plugin, which you can see on the right sidebar. Basically when you visit the site you can write a message, which will be displayed live (no need to reload the page), and everyone else can see it.
The idea is that if more people are visiting the site at the same time, they have a tool to communicate easily. Let’s see if it’s useful at all, and remember to leave a message!!
Update: I tried it, but the spammers win again. Even closing access to registered users only, they managed to leave spam messages. So this plugin is now disabled. Thanks for Tommy for trying it out. Ciao!

One of my first passions are without a doubts comics. I started reading comics since 1990, and have cultivated my passion for years, at the expense of my parents money…
In the last few years my reading has slowed considerably, for practical reasons (can’t find them here in CH), for financial reasons, and for personal reasons (need time for family).
However I am still following the industry, and read some comics once in a while. So I am starting a new blog all dedicated to comics (so that readers of this blog who are not interested won’t get comics posts here).
For this new blog I am trying a new blog service, which looks very promising, called Vox. Check it out.
If you are interested in comics, check out my IBC Comics Blog.

Sorry I haven’t been updating this blog lately, been busy with a certain baby…
I always thought that my site design contained a lot of cool things, but I was afraid it would be confusing. So in an attempt at clarifying things, I added a navigation menu, just below the header graphic. I am still tweaking it, so it’s not completely done, but at least it works. Let me know what you think.
I also added a podcast player at the top right corner. It contains a playlist of all episodes of my podcast, so you can stream it right from this site.
Any other idea/suggestion for this site’s design is welcome.
