Sorry, for those of you who have a TypeKey account, I didn’t add the code to actually allow you to sign in using your Typekey registration and leave comments. Ooops. Hopefully it’s working now!
OK, so it isn’t working. The Typekey site tells me that this site hasn’t turned the feature on, when, obviously, I have. Ugh!

I’ve been watching some of the blogs that I link to in the blogroll on the front page of this site slowly go away, just stop updating, or morph into something else.
