Dear Four Pillars,

Is there anyway you can add a edit button to the messages and stuff or would that require everyone to create a login name and all..I think that would help clear up with so many post

Joseph: We’d love to have an edit button and let readers update their comments. We looked into it a while ago and couldn’t find an easy way to add it to our wordpress setup. We’ll look into it again.

Thanks for the suggestion!

EDIT: Right after I replied to you, it looks like Mike’s already added a “click to edit”. Man he’s fast!
