I've thought a lot about letting anyone comment -- and actually -- anyone can, but they need to have a registered TypeKey Account (my blog is Movable Type), and then they need to login to their account before they can comment. Someone would really have to want to leave a comment to do all that, but I guess that was my goal. I wish there was a way to select which entries to allow comments, and then select how open/easy it is to comment. Perhaps in the future MT will have this capability....

It was fantastic meeting other educators from other parts of the world through my blog and sharing and exchanging ideas. I think sometimes previously I had felt that this was completely out of my realm as I live in New Zealand. It has taken a while, but I am now much better at making comments to blogs that I read regularly. It's really partly a mindset, because more often than not you don't know the blogger and you feel a bit shy about making a comment ;) I agree that we all need to get better at linking to each other and putting some of our blogroll in our sidebars, something I'm also guilty of not getting going just yet..... but you've inspired me that it IS important to do so and STOP lurking!!!! Keep up your great posts, I enjoy both your blogs! Kind regards, Rachel rachelboyd.blogspot.com room9nelsoncentral.blogspot.com Hi Linda,
