Trying Google Plus comments

In an effort to reduce the random spam here, and perhaps facilitate conversation(?), I've enabled Google Plus comments on the blog (and thus disabled the more open version).  Please let me know if this causes any problems for you.

My major concern is that folks won't have google accounts, and will just decide not to comment.  But I'm hoping it actually makes it easier for folks to join in on any conversations that might take place...not that I'm exactly driving a lot of traffic right now. :)  Thanks! -j

Edit: looks like the one annoying thing is that, since I have it set to automatically share, every post will automatically get one comment (from me!).  Oh well, we'll see how it goes.
