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.
