Lummoxie Template with Comment Replies

Lummoxie Template Update with Reply CommentsRetrofitting the Lummoxie Template with Blogger's threaded comment system has been a few months in coming, but no one is counting, right? [Gulp] I don't want to dwell on this... To make haste as our more punctillious brethren might do, and by that I mean to get to the point, seems a bit more appropriate.

And the point is of course, that the Lummoxie template has been updated and retrofitted with Blogger's comment reply functionality.

A second notable improvement is the restyled PageList/LinkList widget which now accommodates new line wrapping or longer link links.
