well, i just cannot make haloscan work right...
and i am tired of trying, since they do not even offer mail notification when someone posts anyway...

blogger comments also has some real problems, most importantly not being able to post on any device i use, and having to go four clicks from a post to comment (five if you count having to click "preview" before you can post it), and then only being able to post as "anonymous" if you don't have a blogger account...

(and, on top of everything else, after the first couple problem-free days of using blogger, i am now getting errors every other time i try to republish and sometimes the eror results in my homepage here missing large portions...)

so, i have no idea what i am going to do...
for now, i am leaving the blogger comments on, taking off the haloscan comments and probably go offline for awhile and find a wall to repeatedly bang my head on...
