Eating My Own Dog Food
Okay, it’s time to eat my own dog food. I’ve been openly campaigning for user-registration systems for logware for almost a year, and now that WordPress has an option for users to register themselves … so I’m going to enable it. I’m even going to take the Draconian step of requiring users to register to be able to comment.
You may feel free to complain about this policy … after you’ve registered for an account.
It works for me, though I found something about the Dashboard that I should pass on to the developers: When I try to click on a link in the “Recent Posts” list, I get this message:
“You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”
I’m thinking those shouldn’t even be clickable, or should at least change to “view this post” links.

Good thing I’m not too lazy.

Y’know, when I did the 1.5 upgrade around here, I meant to note that I’d made user registration optional. Now, I’m not going to make registration mandatory as I have in other places, but I’ll give you a hint: you get less guff…
