I’ve been getting a steady stream of mail from people who are having trouble signing in to leave a comment on posts. I’ve been using a system called Disqus that is common across blogs, but does make things more difficult. I like it because it allows you to reply to specific other comments, rather than just having one long stream of comments, and also helps me manage comment spam.
But, at the end of the day, if it’s keeping people from participating, it’s no good. So I’m turning it off. If you’ve wanted to leave a comment, but gave up in frustration, try again, please.
We’ll see how it goes.
Addendum: i was/am interested in hearing from John who was looking for a cleaning person. Hopefully he will tell us how the recommendation worked out.
