I’ve had to disable Google Sitemaps for this site in a bid to stop post and comment form submissions resulting in a blank page. Probably gonna negate a bit of the Google Love but that’s okay, the blank pages have been driving me batty! WordPress plugin Google Sitemaps basically uses too much memory (I think… PHP error reporting isn’t turned on on this server so I can’t be 100% sure)… last time it succeeded it wrote a 3MB file I think. Could also be a gzip related issue but I doubt it (gzip works fine for other things IIRC).
So enjoy commenting again without a horribly blank screen greeting you!

You *should* be able to override the php memory limit with your own php.ini file. Although I’m not sure if that it working. You could try an .htaccess setting, or I could just increase the limit.
I tried turning error_reporting on a few weeks back using .htaccess and had little success in anything other than generally breaking stuff & bringing up 500 Internal errors everywhere. Not too fussed, really :P My first (and last) AdSense cheque is getting VERY SLOWLY closer to completion (I’m at $75 I think, I need $100) and then I’ll cease to really care about external traffic when I lose this stupid failed experiment :P
Alternatively, I need to start link-whoring on Slashdot!
Hooray!
