EEVL Announces New Subject Specific Ejounal Search Engines
:: Four new search engines, indexing freely available e-journals published in computing science, engineering, mathematics, and all three subjects together, are now available from EEVL, the "Internet Guide to Engineering, Mathematics and Computing." The four engines are:
- Computing: searches the content of 60 freely available full-text ejournals in computing.
- Math:
- Engineering:
- An all-in-one search engine that covers the content of >250 journals indexed by all three subject-specific search engines.
When looking for information of higher quality and utility, users are being offered more options to search the 'net than just Googling. These include EEVL's new search engines, Google Scholar, RedLightGreen, the Yahoo! toolbar with OCLC WorldCat searching capabilities, along with Scirus.

Test comment. As suggested, I have tried to post a comment through Typekey comment registration. The Typekey message was that your site was not registered. If you pasted the Typekey token in the registration field of your test blog, then the problem would be the path definition in Typekey.
But this comment should work.
The style is good. It seems better than many of the Movable Style options.

Test. Logged in through Typekey. About 10:30 PM Wed night. This should post without moderation.

Test on Thursday morning. I went to the main page. I clicked the post comments link. I clicked the sign in link to Typekey and logged in there. I got an Apache error message. I went back via brower back button. I hit post comment again, and then I hit sign in again. I was taken to this screen. I decided not to try to the Typekey sign in again. I have proceeded to fill in this comment. Now, click Post
All of the above was in Firefox. I will also try IE

Test two. On my first test, when I posted I got the comment moderation screen. That should not happen if I am a registered Typekey user and if you approved my first comment posted under Typekey.
So I went to the main page. I clicked post comments. That took me to the comment section. I clicked the Typekey sign in. That took me to the top of the comments section (strange?) and I scrolled down. Then I filled in this comment. Now I hit post. Question - will I get a moderation message again?

Test three. Thursday AM.
After my last session, I closed the browers. I went to Zone Alarm, where I control cookies and made sure that I enabled Third Party cookies for the site engine.pbd.com.
I opened IE as browser. I saw that my test last night and my other 2 tests this morning appeared on your site.
Aside - the main page shows there are comments but the only way to see them seems to be to click the link to "post a comment".
When I clicked that link I was brought to the screen I am in now. It is the bottom of the comment page. There is message below the line that says "Post a comment" which says thank you for signing in BK (my Typekey screen name). Now you can comment." So I comment.

Next test. Not sure of the number. This should be comment 8. I am still in IE. I went back to the main page after my last comment. No messages back after last comment. I checked the number of comments had gone to 7.
Comments are not visible in the main page so I clicked post title to get to the entry archive, which is where the comments are. Got to that screen. Scrolled down to make sure my last comment posted - it did. Scrolled on to the new comment field. Found message saying thanks for signing in BK. etc. Posted this.

Next test. Should be comment nine. I closed IE and opened Firefox, went to main page of test site. At first Firefox displayed a screen that said there were only three comments. Realized that I was seeing cached page (why doesn't Firefox refresh? Need to check that). Closed page, cleared cache. Reloaded page. That's better. Clicked link on main page to go to individual entry page. Scroll down. All my comments are there, and at the bottom the post comment fields say Thanks for signing in BK. OK post comment.
It seems that my Zone Alarm (suite of Firewall and Internet security products) privacy setting were holding up my comments.
See if some other users can post comments. Email Steve at his hotmail account. I think he has Typekey but he may not have registered? I think he had to in onder to download the free MT he used for his blog before he went minimalist.

Test Thursday 10:08 AM
From my computer at work. Firefox browser. No external privacy programs. Main screen loads. Click to see individual entry and comments. Click to post comment - click to sign in to Typekey. All fine. Minor glitch. After Typekey logon, I am back at the top of the comment, not at the new comment screen. Scroll down to new comment field - yes, it says thanks for signing in BK. Compose post and post

This should be comment 10. Test at 10:14 AM.
See below for more feedback on posting comment 9.
This is through IE 6.0 running under XP Pro. Loaded main page. Linked to entry/comments page. Clicked Typekey Login, logged in.
Same minor glitch as under Firefox. After Typekey login, the entry/comment page reloads and I am at the top. Scroll down - voila, Thanks for signing in BK ---
Ending up at the top of the page is confusing to the user (at least to me). If you don't know you can scroll down to the comment screen, you will be tempted to click the nearest link that mentions comment to try to get to the comment screen. That seems to be a php thing in your templates.
But I did find the comment field and I am posting.
Now a note about Firefox. When I posted number 9 above, Firefox took me back to the top of the entry page - cached. I had to refresh the page to see my comments. I wonder if IE will do the same or load a refreshed page.
