Comments & Avatars

Posted on July 12, 2008 by Karl Richter



Throughout this course, we’ll be looking at both the benefits of new technology and the risks that come with using it.  Blogs and Wikis are vulnerable to spam, so your settings are a critical part of set-up.  As I’m writing this, you all are posting comments on our first post.

I used Jing to make a quick screencast of the comments panel, that you can view here, but here’s an even better resource. This article gives you directions on how to set up a blog that is both secure, and easy to comment on.   After you’ve read it you’ll understand why I need the email address you used to sign up for edublogs. 

Prompt:

Your prompt for this post is an easy one.  Please add the email address you registered with to the comments section of this post.

And since many of you are having trouble getting your avatar visible on your site, and on this blog’s comments, I thought I should link to this article that teaches you how to do it.

    Getting the avatar to hang around has been a problem! Man, I don’t like the way the widgets work at all on this site. Lots of frustration so far. Still, there’s some potential here. What the heck, there’s always frustration with computers, right?

    I think my avatar is up and going best I can. The crop function is not working on my image so my top half is gone. Let’s see.

    The email account I’m using for my Edublog is:

    cwilsie@gmail.com

    I’m still a little unsure of the settings I should have fr my blog. It seems that comment moderation may be the way to go. I know for myself I hate having to login to post a comment. Great picture by the way.

    Why is the system publishing everyone’s email — even though leave a reply says it won’t be published?
