One of the limitations of most blog sites is that they make you register as a blogger before they let you comment on your friends’ sites. I realize they want to foster a community, but as more and varied blog sites come on the scene, blog providers really should consider allowing non-blogging accounts. I wanted to post a comment on Mary’s blog but I had to set up a Blogger account, so I did. In a fit of exasperated sarcasm, I called it:

This is now my third blog. I had to do this at Xanga once to comment on Jay’s site, but I deleted that one. I still have a minor blog at myspace.com and a completely dead one at livejournal.com.
