Membership Registration
I’ve disabled membership registration on this site due to large numbers of email spam that I am getting. Being a member isn’t required for commenting (though members don’t have to submit the captcha) and no one is using the forums nor the wiki so I don’t think it will be missed. Besides when my site redesign is complete the forums and wiki will be gone - unless I get a lot of comments requesting me to keep them.
I’ve also pruned membership - any member for longer than 180 days with zero comments, guest entries or forum posts has been deleted.
Regarding guest authoring - membership is required. If you would like to guest author on this blog, leave a comment or email me and I’ll get back to you about how to register for the site. I really would like to get 2-3 semi-regular guest authors here who would be willing to write at least once a month, but more is of course better.
Of course those already with a membership can already guest author.
