How to Comment on This Site
Thank you for stopping by this blog! I’m sorry if this is confusing or annoying (let’s face it: it is. But it’s just once), but it cuts down on spam and the odd crackpot commenter. (Well, ostensibly, anyway.)
Here’s what you do:
Register through this link.
Registration is not through WordPress, so if you lose your password or forget it, shoot me an email, and I can reset it. You must be registered to comment, and your first comment will be moderated. It’s just another line of defense against that spam again. And those crackpots. Who are sometimes the same people.
Thank you.
P.S. – If for some reason nothing works, you may contact me through this form. We’ll figure it out.

You must be logged in to comment. 
OK, a followup note, on the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org.
The .com place will happily host your site, and allow you to create an account, which will give you the ability to comment on blogs hosted by them.
The .org place gives away software, for hosting your own site (as this one is hosted).
Sites which use the .org software do NOT authenticate through the .com place: we’re all on our own, with a separate account.
This gives us some benefits, but often confuses people. Like, WAY often. Just about any time somebody has already created an account with the .com people, actually.
So. If you have a WordPress account … you don’t have one here yet. If you WANT a WordPress account, by all means create one – but this site doesn’t do that: your information is just here, on this site, not shared with the world.
