Update: So thanks Phil and Michelle for leaving me very helpful comments, but I proceeded to tinker and promptly lost 'em. Just thought you should know I didn't delete you on purpose. I do appreciate your kind efforts on my behalf! I hate technology. Technology is not my friend.
I got tired to death of all the google-commenting aggravation, so I have installed the latest of my bloggy experiments for your continued consternation pleasure.
A lovely little platform called Disqus.
I've seen it on other blogs and really enjoyed it because it can be so much more conversational. I (and YOU) can reply directly to the comments left, which I feel fosters, and encourages, yay even nurtures that lovely feeling of community that we value so highly here at A-B Inc.
I've tested it on my page, using each of the options, and best I can tell you have all manner of choices in ways to "log in." You can use your Google account (if Google didn't stomp on your feelings and leave you un-sign-in-able), your Twitter handle, or even your Facebook connection if you so choose.
If you prefer to remain less...connected, feel free to leave me a fake name and I think that will likely work as well.
However, I am very sorry and also completely powerless to do anything about the odd gravatar (cartoon-y picture) that accompanies the more...disconnected sign-ins.
I choose not to dwell on the creepiness of all this "click-a-button-and-they-know-who-you-are" stuff and am instead pretending it is still 1971 when I could run all over the neighborhood until dark and then proceed to eat the dinner that I didn't have to cook for myself.
I digress.
I'm just gonna say it. You would make me happy if you could try to leave me a comment so we can test it out and I can work on any "kinks" in the system.
I strongly dislike kinks in the system.
Thank you, as always, for your kind support.
- - and Happy Weekending!
BTW - I'm just checking, but did you hear that I'm going to be a Naynay again?? Yippee!!
