With change can come some unexpected learning curves thrown at us. We totally get it! As you probably noticed, we have migrated over to using Disqus for comments, which is sooooo much better, once you get the hang of it.
Some of you have expressed concerns or troubles signing in to Disqus to leave comments. The first thing you should make sure is that you have cookies enabled in your browser (Disqus tells you how to check this). If you have problems logging in to Disqus, click here for account help. You can also claim comments you made previously, if you signed up using the same email you used previous on Channeling Erik (click here to see how).

Repeat visits to the site should recognize your Disqus account “cookie” immediately and you should not have to re-login to write a comment.
