New Disqus Comments plugin
In a nutshell I want people to be able to leave comments without me having to "approve" them - they appear immediately. But I also want to keep out spam. The anti-spam module for some reason was marking all comments - including my own - as spam. I have since added the Disqus plugin which hopefully will allow anyone with a free Disqus account to be able to leave comments that appear immediately. So far it appears to be working nicely.-

President Obama – Precisely vague?
Nota bene: After publishing this I thought it might come across as too harsh and too critical toward the new president. And when many were still basking in the afterglow of the Inauguration. So I marked it “Private” which means … Continue reading
