Comment-ary

I miss my comments. I took them off when I discovered that the default Radio Userland comment service doesn't allow deletion. The lack of any sort of notification was also an irritant, but the inability to delete comments was the real kicker. I axed them.

But I miss them. I don't want all my blog entries to be conversations, but a little feedback is a good thing and forcing people to send e-mail is a hindrance. So I've been looking at alternatives. I know there have been some improvements in the notification structure (I think you can get an RSS feed off your Radio comments now,) but I still want more control.

I'm investigating Weblogger.com as a possible host for my personal domain. I've started trying out one of their free sites and if I can figure out how to get Radio to talk to that Manila server correctly, and manage comments the way I want, then I'll put them back on.

If that doesn't work out, I'll be looking into one of the 3rd-party services like YACCS. In any case, I'm working on getting my comment-ary back.
