- Log in to post comments
For the past few weeks, I have allowed commenters to post using their TypeKey account. I didn't want to require commenters to register with TypeKey if they did not want to, so I still allowed comments from unregistered readers. TypeKey allows me to authorize comments much faster, as I do not need…
Two recurring issues regarding commenting:
1) There is some sort of a bug in the commenting software that occasionally causes comments to be rejected as lacking a valid email address, even when you have provided one. We think this is somehow related to the TypeKey registration required on some…
It's high time that I make a note about how comments are handled on this blog. This has been made particularly urgent by the fact that I was until recently getting an overwhelming amount of spam comments, which in turn led me to up the spam filter, which in turn led some real comments to be…
If you're reading this, you obviously got the message from my old blog and followed the link. This is the permanent home of Dispatches from the Culture Wars. A lot more content is planned for the main page, but that will take some time to get going the way I want to. As you can see, I pasted the…
Typekey is as buggy as hell. I spent four or five minutes fu**ing around to get here and type this.
Oh, and the "contact tab" email link doesn't work, either.
'Scuse me for venting ...
Hey Zuska, welcome to the neighborhood!
Well, crap. When I tried the link on the Contact tab it brought up a mail window but those things never work for me. I always thought it was my computer system. I'll change it to just display my email address for you to use.
If I get a few more complaints maybe I'll just scrap Typekey and see how much spam I get...
The consensus when I joined seemed to be that TypeKey was just too much of a pain.
Also, I'll change my blogroll link to you if you'll update yours.
Dr. Free-Ride, I'm happy to be in the same neighborhood as you! Ditto for you, Josh! Also I managed to get the blogroll link changed for you before we leave for vacation...which should be in approximately 30 minutes...! I'll be touring exotic Gettysburg, PA. Apparently there is an internet cafe there, so maybe I'll be back on before we come home on Sunday.
ah, well.

congrats!!! i am so happy you made it to scienceblogs. your blog has a lot of important things to say and wider readership will be excellent!
I can't trackback to SB sites for some reason, so here is a teeny blog-warming present.
Female Chemist, thanks so much! I'm honored by your compliment. Also, Bill Hooker, thanks for the nod to Thus Spake Zuska on your blog - I really appreciate it. S. Zeilenga, it's always good to have a scapegoat. Creationists, FEMA, or Homeland Security - take your pick. I blame one or the other for just about everything that annoys me these days.
I just have to say this is a mighty nice neighborhood to be hanging out in and I thank all of you who contributed to giving Thus Spake Zuska the visibility that helped me get here! And thanks for your continued readership.
