[I am going to assume that if a guy wears lederhosen then he might be the kind of guy who won't mind that I'm experimenting here in the comments.]
cute family...lederhosen-ites
Can I take The Fifth?
[this is me talking to myself, partly because I like talking to myself and partly because I'm trying all the little DiSQUS buttons to see what they do]
[this is me talking to myself again, because I'm kind of on a roll here.]
As for the grey face, definitely ugly. You should check out the Lijit face-- at least it's got a bit of color (green... maybe they ate the lederhosen?).
Anyway, the Ligit default icon is not a bad color and it looks like a face instead of a droid. Plus, it's smiling!
Not sure what I think about this disqus business. Is it overwhelming for someone who is not a member? I don't really get it yet, but I haven't explored the site. It does, however, provide comic relief in the form of LL though . . .
spagettipie, I was wondering if it was overwhelming as well. There are about a million settings one can tweak. I tried for simple, but I could maybe make it even more simple.
L.L., are you losing your mind?! You crack me up.
Other folks, thanks for dropping by.
As a bonus, it also lists my most recent twitter status and my most recent comments.
I haven't figured out yet whether I can have disqus track all of my comments the way cocomment does. THAT would be super cool.
Um, yeah, MG, I know. But it's too much work. Too many choices. I don't want a life history (a life stream?) when I mouseover the cute faces or the icky grey faces. I just want a hot-link right where I want to go. You know?
Sometimes simple is just right.
... if one clicks very determinedly on the link and ignores the pop-up box, one can pass GO, collect $200, or at least get to the desired site in a single, very firm click.
I like experimenting. I'm assuming that you're accepting this, or that your lederhosen have cut off the circulation enough that perhaps you're not really noticing what's going on.
See, the thing about Lederhosen... I'm a trendsetter. Just give it a few years and it will be all the rage. You would believe how many guys were wearing them last night. Seriously.
I'm not sure I'll ever the be the same again.
Maybe it's as simple as me asking people to comment?
Definitely the settings needed to be tweaked.
Publishers Union of Bloggers currently advise Publishers hold off installing any Lijit Software on their blogs pending both Lijit’s promised upcoming transparency from Lijit concerning revenue sharing with Publishers and Lijit's current 'terms of use' which gives Lijit free reign concerning use of your content once our Publishers install Lijit Software into their blog.
Any thoughts on these critical issues for Pub's, pass it on, all appreciate it. We are probably all better off sticking with the Lederhosen, where can we buy it?

Thanks for the comment. We've looked into Lijit pretty carefully. Also, we
have a similar non-exclusive rights clause with our network blogs already,
so their terms of service didn't seem unusual to us at all.
I do appreciate your concern though!

these things get complicated very quickly.
I like the Disqus commenting system and your Lijit search...two great tools to make you a better blogger and allow your readers to engage more.
Thanks for giving Lijit a try. We appreciate your support and feedback. If any of your readers have questions, feel free to send them my way. I'm tara at lijit dot com.
And L.L., you don't need to be scared. Our publisher agreement is easily accessed on our site and basically states that in order to return search results, we have to be able to use your content.
I added another comment to support what you said, but feel free to clarify
any mistake I made.

We found that legally, we weren't supposed to reprint paragraphs on our site from bloggers in our network unless they granted us access to reprint their content. People in our network grant us nonexclusive rights to use their material. Again, this is primarily so we can republish content without being accused of stealing anything.
Since we're a nonprofit network, I'm not really all that worried about it.
The value of Lijit as a network search tool far outweighs my own desire to maintain rigid exclusive rights to my own content.
Besides. I figure at the end of the day anything I post on my blog is really easy to steal anyway. If I want to maintain exclusive rights, I shouldn't be posting it online.
I never did understand the reason for Disqus. I visited their booth. Went to their website and I just never got the advantage.

out. I'm seeing some advantages. But really, it's more important to consider
whether it is good for you as a reader/commenter.
'Cause I want that really cool High Calling Header, like I have for the pop-up box on my Seedlings one. Just stop by Seedlings and email me through the Contact Link, and let's see what we can do.
(See how quickly my fears have been assuaged? : )
I've started trying it out as well - it has some positive features, but there are a few things that you give up when you implement it. Having users register as subscribers and agree to an AUP? Disqus seems to bypass that - I may not have dug deep enough on the settings, but it does seem to be the case.
