Comment Torture
Hi, everyone. I apologize for the comment deletion, but I got one too many e-mails from people telling me that they couldn’t comment on Haloscan. Add to that the fact that Haloscan deletes comments on old posts and that I can’t get my comments via e-mail and I finally decided to go back to Blogger comments.
Unfortunately, that means that I lost all my Haloscan comments and that new comments can only be posted on new and non-Haloscanned posts. But I think that this will work better for everyone in the long run.
I’m thinking now of hiding this site from search engines so that I can turn off word verification and make commenting even easier… But then I wouldn’t get visits from people who are looking for things like “frilly panty stories” and “purple spit up in two month old infant”…. It’s a tough call.
>LOL, too funny! I’ve had people find my blog for the weirdest things too. One was “making out with braces”. All I could imagine was some pimple faced 13yr old trying to figure out how to make out with his girlfriend safely since they both have braces, lol.
>Haloscan. Sounds like office machinery in Heaven.
>Checking on Googlers is one of my daily pleasures. Lots of Jessica Biehl and Angelina Jolie fans out there. The scary ones were the weeks of searches for “cute baby pictures”. Sometimes minutes apart. I want to know who was looking and why. At least with Angelina and Jessica, the motivation is obvious.
>By the way, you made me laugh out loud with your “The Ellipsis-Addicted…Lucinda.” I fear that my family may have to hold an punctuation intervention as well…or at least family hug.I also thought I’d let you know that once I tried to hide my blog from search engines so that I wouldn’t have to use the word verification with blogger comments; but alas, I still managed to get them. Perhaps you’ll have better luck though.
>I’m going to have to ask “Yonz” what she does, because she has hidden her blog and turned off word verification and she never gets spam, as far as I can tell…Cute baby pictures- That’s scary. Makes me want to take mine down.
>Weird. I posted on here earlier and now it isn’t showing up!I may take Haloscan off my site as well. It’s a pain and I”m tired of all the problems.
>Yes, many of my favorites comments are gone because Haloscan deletes them after a certain number. Sad, since I had some amazing tips on how to bake a birthday cake and they were gone when the next birthday came around.I took my blog away from searches long ago and I feel so much safer.
>Yeah, it’s the weirdest thing about the NO ROBOTS meta tag. Me get no spam! I was just doing it to hide myself from work. Go figure.Let’s see if the comments will accept the code you need to put in your template: [META NAME=”ROBOTS” CONTENT=”NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW, NOARCHIVE”]Replace these [ ] with the side carrot bracket thingies.The only thing I’ve seen it interfere with is Blogshares. It still updates sometimes, though.
>The good news is that I can still read my comments on the Haloscan site. The bad news is that I can’t put them back on my old posts. So rest assured that your comments may be gone, but they will never be forgotten!
>woohoo! I can post on your site again!!!
>I had wondered what happened to you, Kim! And thanks to Blogger, I got your comment in an e-mail, otherwise I wouldn’t even have known you’d commented. Awwwww, yeah!Plus, there’s an added bonus- My word verification says “germco” and it really is a germ co. here. I woke up feeling quite cold-ridden. Thank God I remembered to turn on “Future Prediction” along with “Word Verification!”
