They have a fix but I havent installed it yet. The propellers actually showed up on my other blog http://food.dorkage.net because that one is the first one I installed sezwho on and the only one where it's completely and properly registered. I think the storage of your comments is the whole point of sezwho. they want to make a comment profile of you. When people see it they think oh wow here is a guy/gal who comments a lot. Look what intelligent and succinct comments. I agree with you I think you should be able to decide whether you let sezwho make a copy of your comment, or be able to edit it or something. I don't like some third party controlling content created by me. Maybe if you claim your profile you can do something I dunno.

No little Propellers or anything. So I guess you have changed your mind in the last 10 days. The problem I have with Sez Who is that it stores all my comments made with it's program, Even though I never signed on with them. They have 7 pages of me (maybe 8 by now) just commenting away. Any more when I see Sez who, I become very tight lipped and cagey when commenting, which isn't right. If you haven't figured it out yet I like, No Love, To express my thought fully and to the point. I love communicating and Sez who keeps me from doing that big time. Grrr! Beamer So, I’m not seeing the tell tale signs of the Sez Who domination. No little Propellers or anything.

I am not going to jump through the hoops to promote SezWho, but I was quick to sign up. I like the idea; however, I don't want to have to write something about it. I’ll have to say, EntreCard got me.

I talk about a number of things that EntreCard is doing wrong over at <a href="http://capetownnews.co.za/2008/07/16/for-bloggers-entrecard-strives-to-make-a-difference/" rel="nofollow">this post</a>. I'd love for you to chime in with your opinions. Specifically, I think EntreCard's price fixing of EC credits is a problem. I think the fact that the EC system sets advertising rates per blog is another.

I've decided to implement the system for the next week and use that time as a trial run to decide if it should stay or go. If I could tweak the code just that it would just show the comment ratings and get rid of the 'who am I' link and the CSS popups then I'd be a lot more satisfied with the idea. For now it seems cool but we'll see how I, and more importantly my readers, feel about it in a week!

Gary, if you posted in the contest you oughta mention that link. I'll revise my post later today and mention it, and also how to just do a straight hyperlink to your profile without all the fancy widget stuff around it. And I gave your comment top marks. Sailor, you don't have to be EC to get sezwho, but we do miss you. They are CSS popups, in that they don't trigger a popup alert, but maybe they should be fitted out with audio or something. Thanks for keeping us honest! And thanks Turnip! I saw the ^M's and I've been bit by them before, I was gonna fix 'em when I did the install. They bite the poor unfortunates who use Windows (and by extension anyone who downloads stuff from them.) ;) Thanks lads. Gary, if you posted in the contest you oughta mention that link.

Hess Wed, 16 Jul 2008 07:02:27 +0000 http://dorkage.net/?p=104#comment-344 Alright, found out some things. More customization can be done than I previously thought, just finding out how was a little confusing. Here's a link to the page I found (a link to it is only on the download page for some reason) http://sezwho.com/install_wp_d.php#template It helped me out quite a bit, so hopefully it helps out others as well.

All I know is that thousands of bloggers will now be installing this plugin. From an accessibility point of view I am not sure if it is a good thing encouraging all these little pop-ups all over the show. Not sure about all this yet though, will need further investigation. The poor non-EC sites could also start losing comments because of this scheme (I think). I am known for being suspicious of new ideas but right now I smell a monopoly in the making, hopefully I am wrong. sailors last blog post..<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Nice2all/~3/336254512/" rel="nofollow">Four Things</a> I am still investigating this one.
