Housekeeping

I'm having a beautiful lazy Sunday morning. It's pancake morning and I got the recipe right and they were SO GOOD! (I throw different things into the bowl every time, different flours and sometimes I forget things, but today... scrumpdiliocious.)

I have some housekeeping things to ask help with on the site. Just a little pre-launch stuff.

1. Facebookers, would you pretty-please go here and 'like' my author page? Thanks.

2. I got a nomination as a top 25 Faith Blogs for Moms on Circle of Moms. You can vote here.

3. And lastly, a question. I've been thinking about setting up a threaded commenting system here for awhile. Since Squarespace doesn't have one, I would have to go third-party, with either Disqus or Intense Debate. I've looked at both, and even installed them briefly, but they would take some work if I want to keep from losing previous comments. (And I do!)

So my question is... does that sound interesting to you? With threaded comments, commenters can talk to each other, I can respond more easily, discussions can happen.

Also, does anyone have experience with either of those commenting systems?

Or is it better to keep it simple. Let's have a vote, help me think through it.

You know me, "Keep it simple". I think you could do connected discussions on your book on your author's facebook page that is already set up for threading. Lots of love, and your pancakes sound wonderful.

i hope it's simple for computer nerds like me that's all.

I vote simple, and like the idea of discussion on FB page.

You know, I had threaded comments at one time on my blog and I absolutely loved it. Then wordpress updated and the plugin did not and my site crashed and when we got it all working again, the threaded comments had to go and the comments reverted, which was good, but they are sort of weird and out of context now.

Hmmm. Squarespace MAY come up with a threaded commenting system at some point. Maybe you're right and it's better to keep it simple now and see about it then.

I don't facebook, but I voted for you--and I am clueless on comment threading. Just excited about your big day!
