Yes, the moment you’ve all been waiting for…

Ok, so I’m making a much bigger deal out of this than it really is. Anyhow, you can now add comments to ANY of my diary entries that other people can look at and respond to. Here’s the current procedure:

1. Click the “Add Comments” link under any diary entry to add a comment.
2. Fill out the form and submit your comment
3. An email is then sent to the address you specified. Follow the simple instructions in the email to activate your entry (takes less than a minute)

That’s it! Pretty snazzy, eh? The only thing I’m wondering is if I should remove the whole email aspect of it and just have anyone be able to submit entries from a form and go from there. It certainly will speed things up and make the process easier. Try it out and feel free to leave me a comment about it : ) (yeah, that’s a shameless plug).

The only reason I have the whole email process is because it’s a form of security. It prevents other people from posting using your name and email address. While they can provide any name they like, their email address keeps everyone unique. It’s not perfect by any means, but it is a deterrant and should also keep a lot of spam off the board too.

As always, any input is GREATLY appreciated!
