Brian’s Threaded Comments
Wednesday, February 27th, 2008Before I begin, Google Analytics is now tracking the site. As of right now, I had one visitor, ME. So, we’ll see how it goes. It sounds like I need to get some SEO going.
This one seemed a little trickier than normal. Of course, I had to make a backup and copy over an extra file. That’s not a lot of work. But, like a good boy, I was going in to test it and make sure it was functioning correctly. Here is where I ran into some issues.
First, I realized that people had to login and register to add a comment. Now, I’m a little guy, but I’m assuming no one is going to register on my site a day one. Maybe, but not likely. So, this took some investigating.
If you want people to make comments on your blog without registering, it’s easy. First, log into the admin. next, click on “Options” in the top navigation, then select the “General” sub navigation at the top. When on the page, look 6 sections down and you will see the area for “Membership.” Simply uncheck the box for “Users must be registered and logged in to comment” and hit the Update Options button. That’s it.
It also seems like it takes a while to manage this blog. So, I started timing it. It took me approximately 20 minutes to type up this blog and install the new plugin. I’m estimating another 5 for testing purposes.
