Commenting Problem?

Thanks, but, um [puts on techie webmaster wizard's hat], If you have problems commenting, I'd like some detail, 'cause there's no Disqus-like or other comment service, just me & my content mgmt system (cms). You could email me at webworker at my website.

Presuming you weren't being spam-blocked… First thought is, y'gotta have javascript on, but I 'spect you know that. There is a second layer, which is you have to click on the word "comments" to open up the comments area. Did you get that far?

My site dates back to the ancient pre-Interactive days of the interewebs, when content just sat there to be consumed and commenting was for email. It's a one-man show running this new cms thingy in recent years, too. Therefore, I only opened up for comments relatively recently, and with much trepidation for both how to handle them and what might be commented, but mostly it's been empty-room echoey (blessing counted).

I'm never sure if I've set all the levers & gears in the right way, but this is the first I've heard of a problem. The spammers can leave messages (the ones that slip past my spam-filter service). And bob and Ting and a very few others got through. If they can do it… :D

(Heh - This may be the incentive for this webslacker to actually look at the site again. For the 19th anniversary tomorrow.)
