First damn Entry

Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging!

I need a proper entry so I can see what real entries look like.

    Hi, this is a com­ment.
    To delete a com­ment, just log in, and view the posts’ com­ments, there you will have the option to edit or delete them.

    I won­der if the altern­ate com­ments are working…

    …hmm. They do but not styled yet!

    You are exactly right on this. Comments have been some­thing I’ve been pon­der­ing a lot lately and you just covered them all, accept one I believe.

    User unfa­mili­ar­ity. Of course younger people are more apt to be com­fort­able to just leave com­ments but when deal­ing with people (read: older people) who are less web savvy it can take some real wrangling to get them to warm up to the idea of leav­ing feed­back and par­ti­cip­at­ing in a dis­cus­sion. Whereas they are used to another form of con­trol over things that they read: boy­cott. If they don’t like it, they stop read­ing and don’t come back effect­ively veto­ing the writers thoughts. Or if they do have some­thing to say they assume nobody else is inter­ested and don’t bother because they have never par­ti­cip­ated and don’t know how power­ful the inter­net can be as a place of archived con­ver­sa­tions that are usable for future readers.

    Nice format on this blog if I must say myself. Can I add that the value of good con­tent on the web has dimin­ished but not on your pages. Great stuff – David :-)
