blog update December 2008

Six months ago, I moved my blog to a new webhost. With the holiday break, I set aside some time to fix problems from that last move.

I fixed a number of backend problems but the main change you will notice is the ability to add comments.

You can now comment anonymously using those pesky Captcha words or you can register a permanent account. Previously the only registered accounts I accepted were TypeKey. Now I accept accounts on several different systems. Eventually you will be able to register an account specifically on this blog but currently that feature is broken.

The other thing I fixed was two-part blog postings. To keep the mainpage shorter, I used to post an intro paragraph or two and then you had to follow the continue-link to see the rest of the article. Unfortunately, in the last move the additional blog content was not being shown when you followed the continue links - that is fixed now.

Leave a comment

There are two ways to leave a comment:

  1. Enter a name and valid email and then answer the Captcha. (Email is not shown.)
  2. Users with accounts should ignore the Captcha but click “preview” to sign in.

One can create an account on this blog (Movable Type) or use authentication from several other sources, including OpenID, LiveJournal, Vox or TypeKey.
