Groveling

I'd like to plead with people to register here. Benefits of registration include, well, being able to leave comments here, as well as at any other Drupal site that enables distributed authentication (which means that if you're registered with any other Drupal site, you'll be able to use that username and password to login here*). You'll also be able to edit your comments. You'll have a signature at the end of your posts and comments, in which you can put any information you want, including a link to your weblog. You'll have the option to use an avatar too if you like. Also, if I decide to take a hiatus, it would be really easy for me to set registered users up as guest bloggers.

If you're on a computer you use often, you can just get your browser to save your login information so that you can login with one click. It might seem like too much trouble, but it's really not that bad, I promise! If you go ahead and register now, you can just login every time you come to the site and post as many comments as you like. This way you don't have to wait until there's a post you really want to comment on to register.

* Let's say you're registered at Kairosnews, which is another Drupal site. If you want to login here, you'd type in "YourKairosnewsUsername@kairosnews.org" and your Kairosnews password. If you're registered at Kairosnews or at any other Drupal site, you don't have to register here at all.

I logged in using my Kairosnews username and password.

I missed ya! Now I can stop clicking through on you every 5 minutes! Not that I normally do that, but now at least I have the comfort of knowing that you are actually back in the blogosphere! :-)

hmmm

So, before we were able to leave comments without registration. Was there some kind of problem that prompted you to change the setup? Not that I mind. I'm actually thinking using drupal to set up a group blog soon, and I'd love to hear more about your experiences with it.

dumb question

should have looked at the post below first.

Glad I registered

This is actually easier and a better experience at the blog. Thanks for groveling.
