Comments Anyone? – What’s with

Comments Anyone? – What’s with the comment engines and Blogger? No sooner had we, earlier today, abandoned enation (and our accumulated comments) because it abandoned us, going dormant on all the blogs that used it, and switched to Netcomment than the latter took leave, reporting all day now that “Commenting Temporarily Unavailable.” YACCS, another popular comment engine, is taking on no new subscribers. If this keeps up I guess we’ll just be forced to move to Movable Type, which has built-in commenting. But that would mean we’d have to leave behind the lovable, irascible archive bug which appears from time to time.

UpdateSay What? Well, thanks to Jessie’s coding dexterity, we’re now trying our third commenting system in three days. The first two, enetation and netcomments, stopped working. (I misspelled enetation as enation a few times earlier, but since it doesn’t seem to work I don’t feel compelled to go back and correct the spellings.) The new one, haloscan, seems to be working fine, and its web site is thorough and helpful. I recommend it … today. Check with me tomorrow.
