Make Your Blog More Comment-able

I failed at this assignment terribly. I read the articles, but really didn't put the effort into this one. For me it's about the quality of the comment not the quantity.

I'm happy with that :)

...the bane of my existence

Blogger's comment platform falls quite short for me. A few months back I tested a third party comment platform for my blog; Intense Debate comment system can be used to replace Blogger’s. I created a test blog and invited my readers to give it a try but they found it confusing. My readers don't like... I don't like, so I decided not to use it on Slightly Off-Center.

I like the Wordpress comment platform. I like the fact that the blog author can reply to individual comments left on his/her posts - gives a more personal touch, I think.

So now that the BIP assignment for the next few weeks is about "Comments", I will have to get the old thinking cap on and start doing some research on this topic again. Stick around to see what I come up with.
