A while back, I enabled comments for posts, but never mentioned it. If you’re interested in leaving one you can click on the title for a post and leave a comment at the bottom of that page. The tiny text on the right of the title block shows if there’re any comments for that post, and you can also click on that to leave a comment. Yes, I realize it’s nearly unreadable; it’s one of the many bits of CSS I need to clean up on the site.
If your comment doesn’t show up immediately, it’s probably been sent to me for approval (to cut down on comment spam). Unfortunately, I just realized this evening that there have been a couple comments for an old post hanging in the moderation queue for a couple weeks now, and I never noticed. Sorry about that, guys. I’ll try to watch that more closely in the future. Might have to see about backing down some of the moderation settings while I’m at it.

Ah yes, the rare successful trackback. I was starting to feel unloved…
Not that it means anything, but I’ve had comments open since inception late last year, and I have yet to see any comment spam. One of the benefits of being an Insignificant Microbe.

One of the reasons I’m so wary (some might say “paranoid”) about comment spam is that back when I did the site redesign a couple months ago I found some spam comments lurking in my old posts, despite the fact that I had comment posting disabled. I’m not sure how they did it, and I’m not sure what they hoped to accomplish since comment display was also disabled, but there they were.
At any rate, when I enabled comments, I neglected to check the box that emails me whenever comments are held for moderation. It’s checked now, so hopefully stuff shouldn’t languish in the moderation queue any more.
