How's your Labour Day going? Did you kickback this weekend and enjoy that last long weekend of the summer? Okay, enough about you. I know someone who's been labouring in a somewhat different way. She's been labouring to leave a comment on my blog.
Lately I've noticed a problem with my comments. Some time ago I switched my comment system from Blogger to Disqus. For the most part I'm quite happy with the change. But sometimes for some people who visit my blog, Disqus doesn't show up. Blogger does. And so folks leave comments that end up in the great internet abyss. They just don't make it to my blog. One such person is Janna of The Jannaverse, one of the funniest bloggers I know. I stop by her place every day. You should too. Don't take my word for it. Find out for yourself. Here's what she wrote about this whole comment conundrum over on her blog last week.
Janna's stunt double.
I give up.
I know technology hates me, and I've been relatively at ease with that fact for a couple years now. Technology and I called a truce after the Great Blowtorch Incident Of 2007, but that's another story.
Anyway, I've been trying to leave comments on a certain blog, and it just isn't quite working out.
I think it might have something to do with the fact that I'm on dial-up or I'm using Firefox or something. Apparently there's something called "Disqus" which I'm supposed to click on instead of the regular "comments" link, but it isn't showing up on my screen even though I guess it shows up for everyone else just fine.
Here's a screencap of what I see on my screen.
Where's the disqus thing?

(*momentary pause while I rev up the blowtorch*)
Anyway, just because I feel like it, here are a few of the comments I tried posting:
Comment #1: (which goes here)
"With the recession looming, Steve could no longer afford to pay for an
entire haircut."
Comment #2: (which goes here)
Things the letters FTWL could stand for:
1. First, There Were Lepers
2. Friday They Watched Lettuce
3. Finding Todd's White Lingerie
4. Free The Whale Livers!
5. Flatulent Truckers Were Laughing
Comment #3: (which goes here)
Since my comments are invisible, I can breathe a sigh of relief as I admit that I have absolutely no clue who Jack Layton is.
Also, I ran a red light today, and sometimes I like smelling my own farts.
Comment #4: (which goes here)
Whenever I do vegetarian week on the Jannaverse, nobody cares and hardly anyone comments.
I see now what I was doing wrong.
I forgot to post pictures of myself wearing nothing but a lettuce-bra.

Oh, that was priceless. I'm glad I could share these comments with all of you. I only wish she could share her comments with me. Care to comment Janna?

Am I famous now?
I think part of my soul just died.
The irony, of course, is that you get more comments writing about my blog than I get on the actual blog.
If this comment actually shows up, I may not survive the shock.
;-)
I had a recent notification from Blogger that it upgraded something or other. I didn't bother to read it since it really sucked when Blogger did nothing to address the commenting issue many so months ago. It may be possible that this has something to do with it?
And, coincidentally (?), a some of my Disqus comment notifications have not reached my e-mail. It's a conspiracy, I tell ya.
But I really didn't know Janna did lettuce nudies.
;-)
Nice screencap btw ;)
It was weird though. When it happened, I went to other blogs that had Disqus and yep, same problemo there too.
Or you had smelled something kind of off...
Ahem.
*smile*
Yay for Janna! She finally made it. heh heh.
