Ed. Note: Still working on implementing this. Comments will be back soon. Bear with me.
New Note: Should be working now. If you registered for TypeKey but were having trouble, clear your cache, log out and back in, and it should work now. I hope.
Don’t panic.
You can still comment anonymously.
However, with the amount of comments we’ve been getting, two problems have emerged.
First, there are many different people all calling themselves “anonymous” or “anon,” and it’s confusing.
Second, people are starting to spoof each other’s names.
Happily, there’s a simple answer.
In order to comment now, you must “sign in.” The prompt to sign in is down where the comment box used to be (if you still see the comment text box, then reload your page until it goes away…you might have to empty your browser cache as well).
Follow the sign in link, which will take to a TypeKey login page.
TypeKey is a free registration service connected to the Movable Type blog platform. Signing up for an account is free. I do not receive any of the information you enter into the registration, nor do I receive any compensation or consideration.
By registering a unique handle for yourself, you can own your name and ID while commenting here without fear of counterfeiting.
I apologize for the brief inconvenience, but it should be worth it in the long run. If your cookies are set properly, the system remembers you for two weeks at a time, so re-logins should be infrequent.
If you’re having issues with registering for comments, then go to the Forum and post your question in the Feedback section. Hopefully we can help you figure it out. It’s pretty easy.
I think.
