Have you ever heard the saying "if it ain't broke, don't fix it?"
Well, I'm beginning to wonder if I should have thought of that. My comment system for the blog wasn't broken, but I decided to tweak it. :(
Yesterday I updated my blog to Disqus--a commenting system on the internet which works with different blogging platforms. It helps eliminate spam and helps encourage conversations between people. I've seen other blogs which use Disqus and read a little about it so I decided to give it a try.
I've signed up for it and it's supposed import the comments I already have into my new Disqus system. So far nothing has happened. The Disqus site says it may take 24 hours, but since I only have a few blog posts and comments I would have thought it could be done very quickly. It has already been nearly 24 hours and I see nothing. Very frustrating.
Just wanted to let anyone know who might have commented in the past that I'm aware of the problem. I may go back to plain old Blogger! I do still have the comments so I hope I can restore them if I decide to return to my old system. I want my comments back...
Haha - have been there, but thankfully WP restrictions mean I can't really break my blog. Fingers crossed you get your comments back soon!

I finally figured out how to fix things, Li! I've learned my lesson for awhile anyway.
