Blog Woes
These days, I have little patience for problems that eat up time better spent with family or on work. Setting up this blog has been one problem after another. Setting up a blog should be as easy as filling out a form and pressing a button! Though I’m known to grumble under my breath, I’ll try to avoid carrying that habit into the on-line world. Netfirms (the hosting provider) has provided some good support. I also found this post by a fellow Netfirms customer helpful:

However, problems remain. The main RSS feed produces the content of the comments feed. Spammers have discovered the blog, and I can find no way to stop only unregistered users from leaving comments, other than turning off comments altogether. The two problems seem almost conspiratorial. I intend to switch off comments for now, and to continue to work on the problems.
As the nudist camp director said of the leaky sewer pipe, “Please bare with us while we resolve this issue.”
