Up, up and away

Folks, especially those in the blogosphere, have long criticized, and deservedly so, the Oregonian for its truly dreadful website. And when it comes to the Daily O's blogs, the absence of comments has long been a sore spot. Apparently, that's about to change. Chris Snethen, the proprietor of Couv Operator, announces the advent of comments to the Daily O blogs. [We weren't able to actuate the feature, however; maybe it's just us.]

Welcome aboard, Chris. Any moment now, you too will be enjoying the commentary of the area's many political cranks, online poker websites and the many minions worried about the state of your manhood. God bless the Internet.

I can't get the thing to register me. Typical Newhouse technology.

The author needs to do some back end stuff. There's also a bad link in the registration sequence. Maybe it'll work tonight.

Then again...

Just tried - got to register and login, but now it's saying comments aren't allowed for that post.

(I did hit a few dead links during the registration process as well...)

After seeing this post, I tried and had the same experience as Betsy.

Problem solved. Try it again and see what happens.

I had a similar experience today and have alerted the powers that be. We'll get there. :-)
