I wasn't aware that Blogger offered previews for when you add Javascript etc to your template. In any case you state that it doesn't always work - hence the need to still test, test, test!

In any case you state that it doesn’t always work – hence the need to still test, test, test!

Just as important as testing new software; if not even more so as there is simply no excuse for not doing it! Sutocu – Ah, proof-reading!

I like the idea of using testers as an extra layer of protection to ensure everything is working as you would expect. Andy – You seem to have all the bases covered, then!

I also used it for "alpha" testers well before I was ready to put the site live. Martin, yeh the test environment is setup with two levels of password protection!

Just be sure that nobody can stumble across it though - that wouldn't leave the best impression! Oh, and don't get me started on those darn missing semi-colons! They are so hard to spot, eh?!? <strong>Life is Colourful</strong> - Thanks for your comment and welcome to the blog, it's great to have you here and I hope to read more of your comments in the future.

Just visited out of curiosity and finding the articles interesting. I would be going through all possible articles and come back with any questions in mind.

That way I make all the changes in the testing environment, try things out from a user perspective, and then upload it to the live page. This method has prevented me from going live with pesky errors like leaving off semi-colons! For my website (not a forum) I keep a mirror of the site on a “test” subdomain.

Of course, this doesn't apply to this blog however there is now a <a href="http://patchlog.com/wordpress/more-optimization-for-comment-relish-plugin/">new version</a> available of the plugin that is supposed to address such issues.
