Submit Response is a weblog by Jack Mottram, a New-look Comments
Some tedious site news for you - I’ve made some changes to the comments on this site.
First of all, a non-change: you can still post a comment in the same way as before, with an email address required.
However, if you have a TypeKey identity, you can now sign in to the site and merrily comment away. While there are many poential problems with a centralised authentification system like this, it might be worth signing up with TypeKey anyway - an increasing number of weblogs are using the service and once you sign into one TypeKey-enabled weblog or website, you’re signed into them all.
Since I also installed the emergency release of MTBlacklist, it’s just possible that when leaving a comment you’ll see an error message telling you that you’re attmpting to post ‘questionable content.’ This won’t happen very often, but if it does, chances are you’ve tried to link to an URL associated with comment spammers, tried to link to more than five websites or included words so filthy and pornographic that you probably shouldn’t be posting them on a respectable weblog like this. (Ordinary swearing remains, of course, positively encouraged). In the unlikely event that you see one of these errors, try editing your comment to remove anything that looks at all spam-like, and if that fails, I suppose you’ll just have to send your comment via email, like in olden times.
Any questions? Leave a comment!
This is just a test comment. As you can see, there’s a little talking person icon next to my name down there. Click it to view my TypeKey profile, if you like.
I’m not sure I like the icon the way it is, so it may not be an little talking person icon by the time you read this; it might not be an icon at all, in fact.
