So what if I can't turn comments on and off per post... perhaps such a thing is just a sign of insecurity... I'm afraid to hear people say what I know they are going to say... It's something I've only ever wanted for the very personal posts... Posts which I invariably delete later, because this blog will never be as personal as I want it to. I rarely open up to people. I keep a lot of things inside, and I share very few intimately personal things. That doesn't mean I don't share... In fact I often tell people too much... but only as a verbal compensation for the things that I bottle up in my soul, the things that I never share with anyone. The things only I know. So really it doesn't matter that Commenting stays on all the time. Besides, after much thought (and tossing and turning because my sleep aid liquidcaps never took hold) I realized, "I republish my site weekly as I add archival links." So, until Blogger fixes the enabling for older posts, I'll keep my Comments as is. And that's that for the time being.
