Blogger comments

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

I was just over reading Mike Sanders’ blog, and the comments therein when I realized that both of the commenters, when I hovered over their names, instead of being the URL for their site, it was a link to their Blogger profile. Then, when I clicked the “leave a comment” link the page that was brought up told me that “This blog does not allow anonymous comments” but that I would be posting as ‘Mike’, which I assume means that my blogger profile would allow me to go ahead and comment. So now we’re going to have a bunch of blogger-powered blogs that require you to have a blogger profile to leave comments on, and we are on the verge of needing a TypeKey profile to leave comments on a number of Movable Type blogs. Where does it end? At what point does it just become too damn hard to make sure you’re registered or profiled and you just stop commenting, ever?

By the way, commenting here requires nothing. You can leave all the anonymous comments you want!

    My wife’s artistic side is raging again, and as much as I want to help her and support her, my non-artistic side has no idea about her new designs. I’m just not programmed that way, as any look around here will tell you! *L* So go take a look at her creations and give her…

    As you can see from yesterday’s posts, I think I’ve got a pretty good grasp on how I can use the OPML editor after all. It’s going to require a little bit of work on my end, in terms of creating new outlines for each new item and then moving the HTML files by hand,…

    Andy made a good point in reference to my Bloglines clip-blog. The way Bloglines asks you to post an item to your blog only points to the item as it exists at Bloglines, not the originally entry. So if you saw something over in the sidebar that interested you, you would click on it, be…

    Playing catch up after being gone for the funeral. Hundreds of items in Bloglines to look at, dozens of emails to answer, a few work issues that need resolved immediately, probably a handful of podcasts to get caught up on, etc. I’m still glad I was able to go be with Angela and her family…

    Thanks go out to Brad and Eddie for letting me know that Mozilla 1.3 was just released. Also thanks to Chris for letting me know that’s he’s running 1.2.1 and not having the same problem with the crashes. (Don’t we have such a helpful bunch around here?) Must be something on this PC. I’m going…

  • Lengthy conversations

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    I’ve had these sorts of conversations before, but in a smaller company, like everything else, it’s usually not as frequent an occurrence as it is now. Anyone who’s worked supporting users knows exactly the sort of conversation, and while we all appreciate the fact that the user is curious and wants to learn, we all…
