  now anyone can leave comments, courtesy of 'haloscan', which i've integrated into my blog. it is a little clunky. when you click on the comment bit, the post will open in a new page as usual. the blogger box says '0' or however many comments, but on top of that are two links that read 'comments' and 'trackback'.
If you click on that 'comments' link, you can say whatever you please without being anon or a blogger member. i apologize in advance for the little ads there - it's a free service. thanks, will, for alerting me to the comments issue. in the meantime, my linking abilities have disappeared. i hope it's not a result of hooking up to haloscan.
