I think I've finally figured out how to get the comments configured for this site. From what I've read online, there seems to be a lot of paranoia about 'comment spam' out there these days by people who seem to know about what they're talking about.
With that in mind, I've configured the site so that anyone can comment on pretty much anything I post. If you're registered with TypeKey, then you should be able to comment without difficulty. If you'd prefer not to register, then you can still comment, it just won't appear until I've approved it. The point of the approval process is to prevent spammers from flooding this site with comments that link to life-time supplies of Vi*gra and interest free mortgages.
I'm interested in finding out how it all works, if it needs to be changed then I'll change it. So...ummmm... you can all start commenting now... Anybody?
*Edit - I've changed my mind. I'll add restrictions as I need them, for now anybody can comment.
Comments
This is another test. I'm trying to see if the background colours will alternate for each comment.
Here's a comment. You'll notice that in my post above I used an asterisk when typing the word vi*gra. I had to, otherwise the post wouldn't work. If I spelled it out properly the following error would appear:
412 Precondition Failed
The precondition on the request for the URL /cgi-bin/mt/mt.cgi evaluated to false.
Strange.... am I being censored on my own website?
