A quick blog note

As you may have noticed, registration is now required to post on the blog. That doesn’t require anything fancy, basically you just have to have a handle (meaning an internet name, for those unfamiliar with the handle.)

So basically, no more posting as simply “anonymous.”

I’ve been hesitant to do this, so I wouldn’t call it a permanent step. Let’s just see how it works, and go from there. The blog already gets very good traffic, so we don’t want to have a negative impact on that. But enough of you have requested the move so I thought we’d give it a try.

Obviously this doesn’t mean an end to anonymous posting, and I’m the only one still obligated to use my real name. (And I have the birth certificate to show it.)
