Opening Comments

Sat, January 26, 2008, 01:35 PM under Blogging
I have tried this twice before and had to give up due to comment spam. If I get too much again, I'll close it again. Also, like I've said before, I am not too thrilled with this blog engine's comment form and interaction flow, but I'll let you be the judge of that. Does it work for you?

I'm glad to see you've enabled comments again.

Why don't you disallow anonymous comments to reduce spams?

Works for me... Thanks, this should be useful in giving you feedback or just comments right away on the post (instead of countless emails you get just from the blog :) ... which you still might )

Jelle: I'll make a new screencast when I get some time to "breathe" ;). I have some ideas lined up...

Keeron: I am moderating comments so I am still getting these as emails unfortunately, but yes, that was the generic idea...

Anonymous: See reply to Keeron. In addition, this blog engine appears to have 3 options for commenting 1) logged in, 2) Enter name and URL, 3) Anonymous. I don't want to force people to have to be logged in and I do want to allow #2 (even if it allows people to lie). Unfortunately, when I turn anonymous OFF it also turns off #2 hence I will just hope that people do not choose that option. To be reviewed in the future.

I am glad to see the comments turned on! I do hope that spam does not hit you too hard, it is a major problem :(.

Overall though I look forward on having the ability to reply to your posts when appropriate.

Chad Moran: It has been on my TODO list for so long that now I realise that, unfortunately, it won't happen any time soon.

Dmitry: Thanks.

You should check out Subtext (http://subtextproject.com/), especially if you're self-hosted somewhere.
