Hi, readers--
Recently some commenters on the various weblogs here have reported troubles trying to log in to the Movable Type system with a username they've created.
This usually happens because the person's username never completed the registration process. When someone creates a username, the system sends a confirmation e-mail message immediately to verify that the e-mail address given by the person is valid. If the person doesn't see the message or doesn't click the link in it, the username never becomes "enabled" for posting comments.
In some cases, the confirmation e-mails may be mistaken for spam by a user's e-mail system, so the user may not see them.
The e-mails will have the subject "Movable Type Account Confirmation". Users can search their mail (including the spam folder) for that subject line and find any old confirmations they haven't acted on. Once you do that, your username will be enabled, and you should be able to comment with joy.
First Friday arrived for August the other day, and with it a new blog here at stblogs.org: Sr. Cora Lombardo has started the site
