It has been quite disturbing to me that I'm getting an increasing number of people telling me that they are sending comments through to me and I'm not getting them. I appreciate Miguel Guhlin sending me an email and asking about his comment because until this point, it has been in casual conversation that people have mentioned it.  It has been at least six people that have told me in the past few weeks that their comments are not coming through.  So, I need your help. My theories on comments: I think that sometimes comments with hyperlinks are getting flagged as spam.  I do get some with hyperlinks so I don't know if there is a pattern, if it requires a lot of hyperlinks or what causes this. I also wonder if it has to do with time of day or use?  If a lot of people are trying to comment, does it choke? How do we fix it?

Many people don't understand how the technorati authority rating system works . The Authority rating system is determined by how many BLOGS have linked to you not how many links have.

I've officially said, I want to move on from this particular topic, HOWEVER -- I want to point out how one can export annotations from diigo. I scheduled this to post yesterday and decided to leave this on Sunday's post docket anyway. Blogger: Cool Cat Teacher Blog - Post a Comment - Annotated I want to demonstrate the power of annotation -- click the annotated link above - -however, I'm "dissecting" and including the comments from the post from yesterday that generated a lot of comments. (The trick to doing this and sending it to your blog is that you have to highlight the person's name who said it.) -- See at the bottom for how I did this. tags: coolcatteacher , edublogosphere loonyhiker I also disagree that the edublogosphere is a closed party because I feel the blogging is a lot like teaching and that we get out of it what we put into it. I don't feel that any of the names mentioned act or feel like they are better than me and have even included me...
