Thanks to everybody who has commented on the blog

It's been a week and a bit since I turned comments back on -- this time without anonymous comments allowed due to the massive volume of spam that entails -- and I've been very encouraged to see people making comments.

If you do wish to comment on an entry, once you go to an individual entry and see the "sign-in" link, clicking on that takes you to a login screen.

There you can sign up for a Movable Type account, confirm it via e-mail and then begin commenting immediately.

But we have a lot of choices as to how you sign in. You can also create and/or use an existing Typekey account. There is also the provision to use OpenID, LiveJournal or Vox accounts.

That's a lot of choices. I give the Movable Type people a lot of credit. Giving blog administrators such control over comment authentication is a great thing, and if something like OpenID ever really takes off, MT is covered.

But however you sign in, thanks again for being a part of this blog. Special thanks go out to all those who come here from LXer.
