I had comments off on my main blog for awhile, when the bubblers were giving me some trouble.  They're back on again.

I've never had to do that here.

Why would anyone want to turn off comments on ActiveRain?

Dumb idea -- heck, they even pay the author some points when people comment enough.

Nevertheless, in case you're unusual enough to ever want to turn off comments on your ActiveRain blog, I have discovered how.  It's actually simple, and requires no software or HTML skill at all.

All you have to do is do some fundraising.

I have inadvertantly discovered and tested this through two posts about my upcoming El Dorado County Food Bank Hunger Walk.

In the spirit of Doctor Seuss, I call these two posts:

Post One

and

Post Two

Fundraising is the perfect antithesis to Web 2.0.

  • It's important.
  • It's not free.
  • It actually benefits people in the real world.
  • It's not about you.

And with that, I will now demonstrate by turning comments off on this post:  Donate.

I was SERIOUSLY going to donate- I don't recall which blog it was.  I'll be hitting the above donate button- thanks for the subtle reminder! :)  OK- done- good cause, thank you- the receipts for expenditures approach.

I love this post. You've found a very gentle way to lecture us. Well done.

Rosario, thanks for the comment.  Thanks to Laurie we know the donation button is working, but we're not sure if we can still keep getting donations now that we've reached our goal.  :)

Hmm....who can we get to test it out...

John, actually, thank YOU.  For those of us that aren't participants in the active sense, it's really nice to just pay for the extra exercise, because one thing that is horrible is the thought of a hungry person.  Period.  I'm glad for the opportunity.
