Comments on: Damn! http://www.archivestragic.com/?p=191 For lovers of archives and history Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:01:15 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.1.3 By: Helen Morgan http://www.archivestragic.com/?p=191#comment-26570 Helen Morgan Fri, 16 Jan 2009 04:55:45 +0000 http://www.archivestragic.com/?p=191#comment-26570 Wow! Heaps! Maybe you needed to upgrade the Wordpress version? Or you are just incredibly popular! I found that I had to close comments on all but the most recent posts, and then when it gets too much I close the comments on those too. Perhaps closing the comments does help, or later versions of Wordpress are better? Seems a shame to close comments because you might be denying people the opportunity to comment who discover you later (I once emailed a friend and asked him to re-open his comments just for me, and he did!). Ah well, nice to have one more post from you. Happy new year! Wow! Heaps! Maybe you needed to upgrade the Wordpress version? Or you are just incredibly popular!

I should have upgraded to a newer version of WordPress ages ago. When AT was first set up I didn't want to go for one of those systems where you have to login, or retype gobbledegook, in order to leave a comment. I wanted it to be as easy as possible. Now I know better (!) and if I'd upgraded when I should have done I would have done something about it. All this time I've been working more on the content of the site and not the the design or the technical stuff. Anyway, thanks, happy new year to you too. Hope you keep your blog going. Sigh.
