Well I was responding to this: <blockquote>Although anyone can now post comments freely, I encourage frequent commenters to register so they can enjoy mild celebrity, plug their Web site, and engage in witty repartee with one another.</blockquote> Indeed, folks can comment freely without registering. However, should they choose to register, they won't be able to find the link to do so. A quick way of adding that link is to display the WP meta block in the sidebar. Ah.

I like when people comment, and I am sure the people who submit do as well. While I know just how many people read the site each day, but the submitters probably do not, so comments let them know people are appreciating their effort. And I have liked the times when discussions started in the comments. I also just really miss Sherry Pasquarello.

Just filling out name, email, and URL does not. One could give bogus info for the latter. I know people in Oil City and how they feel about it. ;)

Oh, and you mentioned adding the login link. I assumed people would be asked to log in when posting a comment. True? I seriously didn’t think anyone would think the Oil City thing was funny.

This is annoying for two reasons. The first title is often the funniest (e.g., "It's Called Oil City") and changing the title changes the post's URL. The latter's a pain for those of us who link to specific OiP posts. It's fixable, though, if you're willing to use a different friendly URL scheme (WP offers a few presets and allows for customization). Other than that, keep up the good work and have a happy and healthy new year. :) My only complaint is that the titles of posts frequently change. This is annoying for two reasons.
