I’ve been made aware by a few readers in the last week or so that some security features were making it impossible to contribute comments to this blog. This is obviously not a good situation! I’ve gone in and changed the settings to make it as simple as possible give public feedback to posts.<\/p>\n

My bad! \u00c2\u00a0I found the little hidden checkbox to eliminate registration as a requirement for commenting, and have also put up a new contact form here<\/a>. \u00c2\u00a0Feedback appreciated!<\/p>\n

WordPress, which is the blogging platform that I’m using, does not allow unsubscribed readers to comment. For that reason, if you wish to comment, you need to go to the register link up at the top right of the window and give a name of your choosing and a valid email address. You’ll receive via email (at the address you supplied) a link which will allow you to login along with an automatically generated password. Just click the link, enter your name and password, and you’re good to go.<\/span><\/p>\n

After you login, you’ll be sent to your profile page – if you want to change your password, or give a new nickname or your real name or change your contact information, you can do that at this page.\u00c2\u00a0 I would suggest changing your password at your first visit, since it is computer-generated and difficult to remember.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you have any difficulties, just go to the “contact me” tab and shoot off an email and I’ll do my best to assist you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
