Can't comment? Let me know.
About a month ago,
Haloscan, the company that provided the
commenting interface for this blog, went
under and I switched to something call ECHO
by JS-Kit.
It isn't working very well. Some people have
been unable to comment, either because the
commenting box doesn't show up or because
they are told that their comments are too
long (even though they aren't). Sometimes the
comments don't load for a long time, which
slows the loading time of the blog.
Unfortunately, the blogging software I use is
only compatible with ECHO, but I am actively
looking for other platforms that might work.
In the meantime, if you would like to comment
but can't or have been having problems,
please let me know at
writingtosurvive(at)gmail.com or fill out
my contact me
form. I
apologize for the hassle and hope that I
can come up with a solution quickly, or
that the folks at JS-Kit can help.
