Readers may have noticed that this blog is now running on Blogger’s new beta version. While it does have some nifty new features there also appear to be some issues with comments. Switching to beta requires using a Google account, and it seems that if you’re still on an old Blogger account you may have trouble posting comments to a blog running on beta. Relatedly, since I’m now using a beta account, I can’t use my Blogger account to post comments on blogs that haven’t switched.

Anyway, the upshot is that if you’re using an old Blogger account to post comments you may experience some difficulty. But, if so, you should still be able to post comments using the “anonymous” or “other” options.

Sorry for any inconvenience!

Update: Blogger is saying this shouldn’t be an issue. Let me know if you’re having trouble posting comments using a Blogger account.

Update 2 (9/8): It seems that commenters with Blogger accounts have been able to log in and comment successfully. Hopefully we won’t have any more problems.
