On Lisa Rein's Radar: Alright, Alright, The Comments Will Stay

Alright, Alright, The Comments Will Stay

After receiving numerous letters and offers of solutions and technical expertise, I've decided to implement a few technical solutions rather than taking comments down completely.

Apparently, my blog without comments is a completely unacceptable scenario for most of you. This warms my heart, for it is indeed a cornerstone of this community that anyone can post and contribute to the discussion.

So this week I'll be implementing the MT-Blacklist module, among other techniques that have been passed on to me. I'm going to document the process from beginning to end -- even though doing so my help the spammers try to beat it. We've all got to work together and learn from each other on this one.

Talk soon...

ps. I'm still getting my act together in general this month, but the Daily Show Clips, Bill Moyers Clips, and other goodies will be up soon!

Don't worry about helping them by documenting what you are doing. If that does help them it wouldn't have worked anyway. Obscurity is not security. Glad to see you are back.

I hope this means the comments are now fixed so I don't keep getting error messages when I try to post one!

I just ran into your page a few weeks ago and I was looking forward to commenting. I had yet to comment when I saw you take them down but I'll admit I was a little sad to see them go.

Your Daily Show clips are great! Please put up the video clip that The Daily Show had on the 19th showing Dean botching the lyrics to the National Anthem. I thought it was hilarious and some people don't believe me that he did so I need proof!

I stumbled across this site googling something a few weeks ago, and I just recently discovered your Daily Show clips. They're fantastic; I check back every few days in hopes of new ones, and I really appreciate them!...especially since I don't get TV at school... :)

Can't wait for the daily show clips again. Lewis Black clips are the best, but can't record streaming video off of comedy central site
