Some blogging sites will invite you to sign in
by means of some other service like Google or
Yahoo! It seems like a pretty good thing,
because then it is genuinely you posting and
not some impostor, and you get to embed
HTML-tag links because you are identifying
exactly who you are. (There may be some
drawbacks that I am not smart enough to deal
with just yet.) One thing I can advise you
about, though, is that just before clicking
on the "Post" button, you should first highlight
and faux-copy (Windows Control-C) your comment-material
in case anything goes wrong with the posting.
You may then re-initiate the comment, but you
do not have to remember what you wrote so
painstakingly, because a simple Control-V
(under Windows) will re-insert ("V" for "wedge"?)
the copied material back into the input form.
If other people are experiencing the same problem,
then your comment will get through, but theirs won't.
Be advised, however, that there are spammers out
there being paid to comment on weblogs, and you
must stand apart as the noble Soldier of Orange
who serves not Mammon, but the Meme of Human Destiny.
If you are commenting on a weblog post that is
truly brilliant, take the "permanent URL" of the
blogpost and write a little blurb about it in the
four most appropriate newsgroups of Usenet.
Then the orignal author will be glad to receive
your infusion of traffic, and your memetic links
will get more traffic. Readers of the perhaps
moribund newsgroup will enjoy not only the
basic information, but the Mentifex-style sighting
of your own eminent self in their humble newsgroup.
It's a win-win-win situation, a trifecta of
triple benefits, especially if you manage to
create a two-way or three-way linkage among
all the memetic hotspots. In your comment
you may mention that you are linking to
the blogpost from Usenet, and on one of your
own blogs or webpages or mail-list submissions
you may give the URL of the hot blogpost.
People at first may marvel that you go to
such pains for memetic thoroughness and
completeness, but gradully they will get
used to you and they will enjoy being
part of the burgeoning phenomenon. It is like
what Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi reportedly said:
"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you,
then they fight you, then you win."
