I have been getting feedback from more people that they like the blog because it gives them information about what is going on, and what topics are engaging me as the minister. However, I have just had a call from someone wanting to post a comment and found it to be a horrible process. He eventually gave up and gave me a call.
I was pleased to have the call and I explained that the blog is set-up, as many are, to stop people being able to post comments before a moderator has seen the content. The reason for this is simply that I have experience of forums, bulletin boards and blogs which, if open, seem to attract every nasty, foul person on the planet. These people take delight in just blasting your site with whatever will ruin it - often this is porn or links to porn. That's why we typically keep people out.
Nonetheless, since the blog is getting noticed by people in the parish and dialogue can be opened up, I will take a look at how we might filter people through a reasonably simple process so that comments can be posted. I will blog my findings in due course. :)
