Annoyed

I found out today, that folks who use IE 6, are not able to comment here.   Apparently IE 6 only allows cookies on a per domain level.   Since my movable type installation is on one domain, and my blog is on another, typekey won't let folks sign in.

 Of course everyone knows that they shouldn't use IE anyway, but since some of our employers haven't wised up yet here is the workaround.

  1. Go to Tools > Internet Options, then select the Privacy tab.
  2. In the Settings area of the tab, click Sites.
  3. In the Address of website field, type liferoads.reighley.net and click Allow.
  4. Click OK at the bottom of that dialogue box.
  5. Click OK on the Privacy tab.

This should take care of it.   Someday I might consider moving the MT installation to fingertoe.com,  but I am sure that is easier said than done...  With typekey, I get zero comment spam.  Of course perhaps that is because I get zero comments.

Testing IE Comments...

Gary told me he commented earlier today, but I never recieved it.

Gotta make sure Gary is broken and not the blog.

Works fine with Firefox. That's good enough for me.
