Insta-comments
Recently the Chief Toad decided that there are better things to do with his valuable time than deleting spam from this blog. Therefore, you may have noticed over the last few weeks that new comments do not appear immediately, but instead don't appear until one of us pond-dwellers approves it.
The good news is that now you can have your contributions appear immediately, by logging into TypeKey. TypeKey lets you post comments to multiple blogs, including the Bleeding Edge pond, and LiveJournal. To take advantage of this, click the "comments" link under any post, and then click the link in "If you have a TypeKey identity, you can sign in to use it here." That link takes you to a page where you can either sign in with an existing account, or sign up for a new account. Once logged in, you will only have to re-login once every 2 weeks.
If you've never commented before, now is a great chance to try. Feel free to use the comments under this post to test it out, offer your feedback, or ask any questions that you have.

Perhaps you could fix the order of blogs (oldest to newest) and have the links and things to work?

A little warning to would be TypeKey users - they have a maximum 15 character password. I use KeePass to generate passwords for me and the default length is 20 characters - thank (deity of your choice) for "forgotten password" buttons.
cheers, Paul

Molly, what do you mean by "fix the order"? Currently the first listed comments are the oldest, which seems to make some sense...
I'm not sure what The Boss's views on allowing links in comments is. Perhaps now that unregistered comments are locked down, we can turn this on.

Glad to see that the long standing problem of TypeKey not working with this Blog has been fixed.

This is good, but how many weblogs are really compatible?
