Dear friends,<\/p>\n
Dilalini and I have opened the comments again, which means you can weigh in on recipes and posts here at Crouton’s Kitchen without having to register and log in.<\/p>\n
We started requiring commenters to register and log in a few years ago after comment spammers discovered our little cooking blog. That got rid of the spammers, but it discouraged discussion and ideas. We installed some anti-spam plugins, which we hope will fend off most of the comment spam. If any gets through, we\u2019ll manually delete it.<\/p>\n
We don\u2019t yet know how effective these plugins are. There\u2019s a possibility they might block some of your comments, especially if you write about things like discount sunglasses or male enhancement products. Stay away from subjects like that and you should be fine!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
