Comments - or Lack Thereof

I've heard from a couple of readers that they have been unable to comment on my posts. Naturally, this makes me horrendously sad, as I see from Blogger's helpful statistics that quite a few people from many different countries have accessed the blog, but thus far very few have commented. (Liels paldies to those who have!) All I can say at the moment is that I, too, have had problems commenting on both WordPress and Blogger based blogs, but that after a couple of tries I have usually been successful. Additionally, I will try to look into the problem (i.e. I will Google it and see if that yields anything!).

Thank goodness it's Friday! And that we might be one day closer to spring. To help us all (especially anyone in the Midwest, Northeast or Latvia) remember what less harsh seasons are like, I leave you with a photograph from a warmer time of the year.

Thanks also to those who have not commented directly on the blog, but have let me know that they are enjoying reading my ramblings and checking out my snapshots. Your comments are also very much appreciated!

Enjoy your weekends, and look for another exciting post soon!!

  1. If you open your comments to allow anonymous posts, you will initially get some spam that you'll have to moderate, but for me it has been worth it to allow friends and relatives without google or wordpress accounts to participate. The spam filters are constantly getting better, so after a slightly frustrating period I hardly ever have to "approve" or delete. I do have the parameters set to require verification for any comment on an older post - I've found this also helps. Good luck!

    1. Good to know. Thanks for the tips! Interestingly, the two people to told me they were having problems are other bloggers. One is on WP, the other I cannot recall.

    2. Verification can also cause problems - cookies settings and security programs don't like the two-step comment. But taking that off again causes a temporary spam period.

  2. Test comment, to see if it works now.

    I love that photo!

    1. Yayy, it works! :) Thanks for your patience and persistence. That bay on Cape Cod *always* has lovely sunset photo opportunities. :)
