I would hope that you don't turn off comments....I for one go through these spells where I do not comment very much, but then I go through the same spells where I do. I think that comments and commenting can have a very positive effect on people and sometimes it does spur some real conversations. It's tough, there is a lot of spam and a lot of trolling going on and I can understand the desire to turn it off....I only know that I would miss it and I think on some level you would miss it too...the random "hey that was freaking great" or "that was cool" on those days when the world has beat you down can make all the difference I think.....
maybe I will vlog about it ;) Heath http://batmangeek.com --- In [email protected], "schlomo rabinowitz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > hey all > Heath started me thinking about comments as I'm about to put up my videoblog > redesign (finally) and I'm starting to think that I don't want comments > enabled. > > As the years go, and as buddy Merlin puts <a href=" > http://www.43folders.com/2008/09/10/time-attention-creative- work">here</a>: > " for an endless number of reasons that you've probably seen for yourself > across the web, the quality and care of visitor contributions everywhere has > hit what I truly hope is rock bottom." > > I agree. > > Here's another post that has me thinking about this: > http://shawnblanc.net/2007/why-daring-fireball-is-comment-free/ > > There's so many ways for friends and family to let me know that they > liked/not liked, that all the other trolling crap doesn't seem all that > needed.
