Help Us Test Typepad's New Commenting System

Things are quiet here at the Law School as we head into exams; while you wait for the next fascinating post on the Faculty Blog, we hope you'll help us out in a little experiment.

Typepad -- the blogging platform that hosts the Law School's blogs, including this one --  recently launched a beta version of a new commenting system, called Typepad Connect. Unlike the previous commenting system, Typepad Connect allows threaded comments, so that you can respond directly to another commenter. It is also designed to foster a sense of community around a blog, by allowing readers to set up profiles complete with photos, links to readers' own blogs, and so on.

Rather than dive right into using this new system here on the Faculty Blog, we're running a test over on our Electronic Projects Blog. Please take a few moments to try out the commenting system over there and let us know what you think. Is this a feature you'd like to see available here on the Faculty Blog?
