Why no Comments?

You may have wondered why there's been no way to comment on this blog. Believe me, I want your comments. As it is, I feel I'm blogging into a void. However, I also believe that there is a place for blogs that are not forums. In other words, I want to know what you're thinking, but I want to retain control over what's posted. Apparently, Google's Blogger software, which powers this blog, isn't creative enough to allow this option. It's nothing fancier than e-mail -- but it seems there's no such set-up here. I've written to tech support to verify and will let you know what they say.

One alternative, I suppose, is just to post my e-mail address with every post. I'm not sure how to do that as a link, rather than forcing you to copy my address into your e-mail. I'm investigating this too. But the downside of this option is that it would eliminate the sender's anonymity.

[Added Jan. 21.: You can now reach me at podcastroundup@gmail.com. I still don't know how to make my address a link that opens a new e-mail addressed to me, so if anyone knows how this software accomplishes that, let me know. Previous posts have also been edited to include this address.]
