Commenting help

This is a purely technical post about commenting. Those of you who are already registered TypeKey members can disregard this. But we've had several people mention that they read this blog but have been unable to comment. Because of the amount of spam we had been receiving, the company that hosts our site required us to implement a registration process. Here's how it works...

At the bottom of each entry, under any already-posted comments, you can click on this "Sign in" link.

That takes you to the TypeKey login page. You must have a TypeKey account in order to leave comments on our blog. Since you don't yet have an account, click on the "Create a Free Account" button.

That will open the registration page. You need to fill in all of these fields, choosing a member name (this will become your "login name" and it cannot contain any spaces), a display name (this is what will show up with your comments), and a password. It also asks for your name and email address and you need to enter the confirmation code.

After you successfully fill out the registration page, TypeKey will send an email to verify your email address. It contains a confirmation code. You need to enter that code into this box. After that you will be registered and you should be able to sign in and begin leaving comments on our site.

Thanks for bearing with this cumbersome process - we really appreciate you making the effort to leave comments that let us know you're interested in our work and lives here.

Yep, still works for me. By the way, I am interested in your work and lives.

Glad to see my comment made it into the educational post--that way I knew I'd already done it right! =)
