SOS PEP: How not to be anonymous on this blog?

Apparently some people have difficulties finding out how not te be marked as "anonymous" if they are posting a comment on this blog. I indeed would recommend it that you choose a name when you comment here, because that makes everything more personal. Of course everyone is free to choose what he wants, but if you don't want to be marked as "anonymous", this is the way to do that:

- You click on "post a comment" or "... comments" under the post. Then your screen is divided in two main parts: at the left you have the previous comments and at the right you have a box where you can write your personal comment.

- Under that box on the right side, there's a "Choose an identity" section. If you don't do anything, you will be marked as anonymous. When you don't want that, you can click next to "Name/URL". Then two new boxes appear and in the "Name" box, you can type your real name or a fantasy name. If you have done that and you publish your comment, it will appear under that name.


I jump to the occasion to ask that people would refrain from personal insults on this blog. This blog focuses on Barcelona, we all like the club, we want to share our thoughts about the players and the games, we're all having our own opinions and we all think that we're right and that all the others don't know anything about football but that doesn't mean we should lose our heads.


There are people from almost 200 countries visiting this blog, all have their own culture, tradition and sensibilities. Besides that, every person has its own character and way of expressing himself. I'm not always there to remove unappropriate comments, so just behave a little. Not too much but let's try to have a basic respect for our fellow Barcelona fans.

Word. Thanks for that, Pep, and for this most excellent space. I hope people understand how difficult this all is, and the hard work that Pep puts in. It's really appreciated.

My usual posting philosophy is not to write anything I wouldn't say to an NFL linebacker amped up on crank. Also, we don't have an "anonymous" option over on the Offside. That and the general mood tends to keep things very civil.

I can remove the "anyonymous" thing, Kxevin, but then I would apparently also remove the "Name/URL" option, which would mean that only registered people could post and that doesn't seem a good idea either.

If anyone knows how to remove the "anonymous" option, without removing the "Name/URL" option, feel free to inform me.

I'm not sure that you can with this blog software, Pep. So the instructions are very handy. I've noticed a lot fewer "anonymous" posts today. Very cool.
