If you’re not a regular poster or lurker at Blog for America, this doesn’t affect you, and you probably aren’t interested in reading further. But since a number of people have come by Howard-Empowered People in the past week to ask what was up with Blog for America, I figured it was in my own best interest to crosspost this.
Since people have stopped by over the past week and asked what’s going on with Blog for America, I thought I should say something about that on the front page here. However, I haven’t been following it too closely between being busy and finding it harder to follow what’s going on there since the commenting moved to DFA-link. But I can at least frontpage the questions and answers from the comments so that they are easier to find. If I am leaving anything out, you can let me know in the comments.
Some Q and A…
Oh, I just went over to the other blog and if I read it correctly (big if) there’s not going to be a blog with comments any more unless you sign up for DFA Link, and that’s where you’ll go to comment. I can’t tell if this is a big change or no big deal. But I’ll be annoyed if I sign up and get spammed.

If you get to the login page, you can click on “My Account” then click on “Privacy” and uncheck anything that is checked. I found the whole bottom tier auto-checked (which is about whether you’re okay to receive personal messages and such). I unchecked them all, for now, just incase. I sure don’t want personal messages from trolls.
But I think, that done, you won’t get spammed. We’ll see, of course!

This just in, as well.
(I wonder if Luigi lurks here. Hi Luigi! )You can navigate to “My Account” on the right side of the page and “Contact Info”. Here, you can change your name to whatever you want it to be (you can put listener as the first name, and just a blank space as the last name)
