I am really confused as to why this is happening. Perhaps I will try a different piece of software to ensure you are able to comment without trouble. <strong>abbigliamento</strong> - In this article I was talking about how to engage with members through conversation and interaction as opposed to solely with your content, although I agree that this is also another way of engaging with your members.

Further adjustments must be done on website on users requests i think.

Just the number 3. I tried several times and it wouldn't go. I finally ended up refreshing the page and trying again and then it went. It just happened to me again on the comment I just posted, too. Maybe it's an Opera issue? Michelle No letters. Just the number 3. I tried several times and it wouldn’t go. I finally ended up refreshing the page and trying again and then it went.

I think it is really important to engage with your members, and that is exactly how I see all my readers - as members. Not only that, but I actually enjoy reading the thoughts and opinions of those that take the time to read my articles. Yeah, Alberghi's comments are not always the most constructive but it's still important to respond to everyone, in my opinion! What problems were you having with the captcha? I have it set so that the answer is always '3' and the question will only ever ask for the sum of two plus one. Did you type the number using letters rather than the digit itself?

I'm impressed with how you respond to everyone's comments. Too many blogs out there have a string of comments with no response from the author. I had to laugh at this one, though. Alberghi's comment is just a bit of text taken out of your post! And still you took the time to respond. :) I also love that there's a box to check to subscibe to this post. I often forget where I've left comments and forget to check back for responses. Michelle PS: Something is wrong with your captcha... It's telling me my answer is wrong when it's not.
