The Feed now accepting user comments after a short outage

OCTOBER 30, 2009

(UPDATE: I can see by the resumed flow of comments that Typepad has corrected its problem and you can leave your thoughts on the blgo yet again)

I'm told by our technical folks that several Times blog are having problems accepting comments, including The Feed.

We're checking with Typepad, the platform which hosts our blogs, to see if the problem is on their end, as we suspect. But I wanted to float this entry to let you know the inability to comment is not intentional and we are trying to correct it as soon as possible.

As a substitute, feel free to call up The Feed's fan page on Facebook or to send me comments via Twitter @Deggans. but know that we're trying to make things right and hope to have comments back up on our blogs very soon.

And, of course, if you have any idea why this is actually happening, feel free to email me directly at deggans@sptimes.com.
