Weekly Wrap-Up #60

1. Do you offer comments and/or trackback on your blog? Why or why not? Underwhat circumstances might you pull one or both of these feedback features? I offer both comments and trackback. I don't think I would remove either feature though I'd remove offensive comments and/or offensive trackbacks.

2. How do you handle comment trolls? Would you edit their posts or those of others who might express a differing opinion or offensive tone? Why or why not? I've only really had one post get trolled and I removed his comments. Not that I expect people to agree with everything I have to say (or anything I say for that matter), but I do expect people to treat each other with respect. If things go downhill, it is my blog and I'll remove comments if I want to.

3. Have you ever used a password protected blog (either .htaccess, restricted entries hacks, pMachine, LiveJournal, etc.)? When and why? How did you determine who you would permit access to this protected area? I've set up a LiveJournal blog because I know a lot of people there. The passworded stuff looks interesting if only because it means I can rant about things and not worry about it being read by my co-workers, etc.

4. Do you let family, real life friends, or work colleagues read your blog? Why or why not? Yup. It helps them keep up with what I'm doing without me having to send a million emails or pick up the phone (which I'm not likely to do).

5. Name one person on your blogroll you'd most like to meet. Why did you pick that person? Where would you go and what would you do? I can't pick just one person I'd most like to meet. There are a lot of the people I read who I'd love to meet and will be meeting this year. Some at Gnomedex and some during my October trip back east. The other people I want meet live in Michigan, Florida and Texas (I'm sure there are more people than that), so that'll be a different trip.

Bonus Question: What new blog did you discover this week? Why would you recommend it to others? It's been a really hectic time in my life recently and I haven't found any new reads. But only because I haven't tried very hard.
