ok, maybe i will do that....

for now i am fighting with a permission problem...

i am not a root on the server where i have pyblosxom...

and the comment files (same problem with xml-rpc blogging) 
get created as owner:apache, group:apache...
so i basically cannot read them when logged into the server using
ssh :))

for now i tried to give the logfiles o+r and o+w, with
doing os.chmod(commentfile,0666),but it seems to be not the real
solution...

how do you solve this?
