Is it possible to make your Website/Blog field under “Post a Comment” larger?

Remember, this is not how much “authority” you have within Oracle corporation, so don’t be surprised (but still be amused) if you have as much “authority” as Oracle’s head honcho for security.

By the way, thanks for pointing out the 404 error. That’s what happens when a blogger changes where his blog is hosted without syncing with the aggregators. I’ll update the URL in OraNA.info immediately.
