Comments are On

I?ve finally gotten around to adding a way to enter comments on this Blog. I?ve been reading a lot of other blogs lately and it does seem that most people get nice comments, not nasty ones (partly what I?m afraid of!)? but after all, what sort of controversy could the Yarn Harlot excite, really? I?ve sort of wimped out and made it conditional whether the comments show or not. They get e-mailed to me and then I get to accept or reject them. So if you comment on the weekend, it likely won?t get posted until Monday because I?m in a habit of not looking at my email on weekends!

This is not so much because I expect to get tons of nasty comments, but more to protect the site against getting Spammed. Being a web developer I see this sort of thing happen more often than you think and I?ve had to take down more than one ?guestbook? due to inappropriate behaviour ? casino links, nekked pictures, bad language, you name it. To that end I?ve also disallowed HTML, but since I get to approve the comments anyway I should probably allow links at least. (Meh ? maybe later.)

Now that I?ve set this up, I guess my biggest fear is not that I?ll get nasty comments but that I?ll get NO COMMENTS AT ALL!! I need validation! Is anyone out there reading this?

Hellooooo??

You're the same person who wrote negative comments in my Parenting section. aren't you? I hope you enjoy seeing your comments online.

I'm betting you are about 15, a stepkid yourself, and don't like your stepmother. Thanks for sharing.

Comments will not be published until reviewed by the site owner. Some HTML is allowed - no more that TWO weblinks or the comment will be blocked.
Obvious link spamming comments will not be approved. So, to all you people who keep leaving comments with multiple links to casino websites, travel sites, ringtones and so forth, posting them here is a complete and utter waste of your time. Like, can you read English, even? Why do you keep leaving your stupid coments here?
