The world's first comment-proof blog*!

Before you ask, of course I built it that way…

I mean, to build a brand you have to be first. To take risks, right?

And my biggest risk is to alienate every reader that comes on by this charming collection of largely irrelevant posts.

It’s unfortunate enough for you that you landed here in the first place. To have comments purposefully disabled so you can’t tell me how much of your time I wasted is, well, enough to send even Solomon into apoplexic fits of rage!

I am of course referring to a ridiculous situation in which, when you post a comment, some mutant redirection ninja shows you the might of a 404 page which in turn means your comment won’t reach me.

Neat, huh?

Well I think it’ll catch on. I’ll probably do a video later showing you how to mess up your blog like I have. I really think this is the way for Web 4.0 – ignorant webmasters who don’t care what you think, but instead pour futile information down the neck of your monitor.

I’ll see how things go today. If I have sufficient number of un-comments telling me they’d prefer I revert back to the conventional format of the blog – two-way conversation – then I might consider fixing this site. But be quick – you have to fail to post a comment soon, else I won’t know how you feel.

This started when I tried to migrate my site from old to new web host. There was a problem with creating an add-on domain at my new host, which resulted in all sorts of quirky stuff going on. I’ll attribute the fault to me, since it’s my fault. Probably.

But we don’t do blame round here. Right now all my coding skills need are empathy, nurturing, and a trash can. I’ll let you decide which should come first.

And I promise – with all of my heart and my PHP for Dummies book – that this sorry situation will be resolved soon.

Thanks for your patience. Any comments in the meantime, on this or any of the posts you may have accidentally read, should be directed to me at he [at] davethackeray [dot] com.

* Maybe.
