@matti Yeah, true. I also just noticed at the bottom of the box about the free trial it also says: “(You can also be part of the Micro.blog community at no charge by connecting an existing blog.)” I’m not sure if that means an external blog is required for commenting or not. I’d previously assumed it was not required. @manton please see thread above. A good question, perhaps worth clarification. Is it possible to just sign up without the free trial for folks that just want to be able to comment on a friend or family member’s blog?
