WordPress user accounts
Tue, 13 Sep 2005
FYI to my regular readers: There’s a little link on the left sidebar where you can create a user account. You don’t have to, of course, but you can if you want. The main advantage of this is that you won’t have to enter your information every time you leave a comment.
The other advantage is that if you register, and I recognize you as a friend, I will promote your user level by a notch. Then you’ll be able to see posts that I don’t want to share with the entire world. There’s only one of those so far, and it’s fairly discreet as these things go. (It wouldn’t rate a mention next to some of Dorothea’s rants.) Still, there might be juicier tidbits on offer in the future.

On a slightly different note; will the comments-feed be reactivated with this new blog-engine?

Ooo, comments feed. Good question. Just a second, I think the feed is technically there and I just haven't linked to it from anywhere.
Try this: http://blog.niceperson.org/comments/feed/
I did permanent redirects for all my other feeds, I think, but obviously I forgot about comments. Now fixed.
Thanks for letting me know; do everyone please speak up if you notice something I've forgotten.

Yay! :). But, oops; as it appears to have included the comments from the restricted post that you mentioned -- I assume that that's not the intended functionality?

Oh, arrrggh. I forgot about that. The WordPress plugin that allows me to restrict posts (ViewLevel2) has code that's supposed to deny access to the comments feed for unauthorized users, but that's not a great solution. I guess I'm kind of glad it's not working, because that's darn unfriendly.
I'm not terribly happy about comments on restricted posts appearing in my Recent comments sidebar, but as you can't actually get to the comment text from there if you're not authorized, it's not that big a deal.
Urgh, guess I'll just have to disallow comments on restricted posts until this gets resolved. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
