So Ernie tells me that Blogger now has a comment feature. I mean Ernie didn't tell me personally, of course. Ernie's a big shot blogger, and I'm a peon in the world of blogging. Ernie wouldn't have time for the likes of me. That's why I feel very confident stealing his picture. He'll never know, and besides, he's not even using it. But I'm getting off topic, prostrating myself before Ernie, the Great and Powerful (a.k.a. Ernie the Little, Yellow, and Different). What I wanted to say was this: Comments!!! Yea!!! I've been very appreciative of Haloscan's free commenting system except for the part where sometimes my comments disappear of their own volition. I wasn't crazy about that "feature" but I just figured you get what you pay for. But then I'm paying the same low price for Blogger's comments, so we'll see. Someday I hope to graduate to Movable Type where I can get the absolute power I crave, but if Blogger continues to make my life so easy, I may have difficulty making the transistion. In the mean time, when the occassional visitor wanders in and makes a comment, I'll actually know about it, rather than being surprised somewhere down the road. And, hopefully, when I come back later, that comment may still be there, so I don't have to wonder if I just imagined the comment. Of course the possibility exists that I've been imagining the comments all along, in which case I guess I can expect to continue in that vein. Blogger may have worked some of the bugs out of my web logging, but they've done nothing for the built-in bugs in my synaptic pathways. So if you're a real person, please try out my new comment system so I can see how/if it works. All imaginary people please hold your comments until I've worked the kinks out of this new system. Thank you.
