Housekeeping Note
At long last, your comments will soon appear on the site the moment after you leave them, as I will no longer have to moderate them. The reason I began moderating comments in the first place was due to the overwhelming amount of trackback spam this blog received on a daily basis. Each day, I would literally sift through hundreds of trackbacks in order to find the handful of legitimate comments I received. Needless to say, this process was extremely frustrating and time-consuming.
So here's how the new system works. From now on, comments by first-time commenters- which means everyone at this point- will go into the moderation queue. Once I accept your comment, all subsequent comments will appear on the site immediately. I'm keeping first-time comments moderated just in case a few pesky spammers evade the Akismet filter.
I'm hoping this makes the 'conversation' on this blog move a little bit faster. If anything else, it will free up an enormous amount of time for me to write a little bit more frequently.
Again, if you ever feel a comment you left never appeared on the site, please send me an e-mail. I'll see to it right away.
