That makes me completely insane. Insane, insane, insane. I can almost deal with Blogger blogs asking for a login. I can almost deal with TypePad captcha. But registering makes me absolutely nutto. There is no blog I've read so far that's good enough to make me go out of my way to register, read the TOS, create a login, think of a password, remember that password, and so on. I have a hard enough time with my gmail password and my WordPress admin, and those are vital to my business! Oh my god, yes. That makes me completely insane. Insane, insane, insane.

My thinking was that I'm building a community, and I want to be able to communicate with my comment authors directly... and to avoid spam comments. Time will tell... Thanks for the insights Well, OK, so your post persuaded me to reconsider requiring users to register/login before commenting.

My thinking was that I’m building a community, and I want to be able to communicate with my comment authors directly… and to avoid spam comments.

Time will tell…

Thanks for the insights

I feel like I have enough passwords to remember as it is, I don't want to have to log in somewhere extra just to be able to leave a comment . . . even if I really want to be part of the conversation.
