You’re weren’t kidding when you said you hate logging in! You even wrote a post on it.

Love it.

I’m sorry I missed this post, John, but you’re absolutely right. I just visited two blogs in a row that made you register to comment; it’s as if they really don’t want anyone to comment, and those blogs have very few comments on them. So many other ways to protect oneself than going that route.

I’ve always been able to follow comments by email with Word Press, but I always visit the blog to comment back to people, though one can set it up to respond to those folks through email and the blog at the same time.

Hi Mitch,

Having to log in to comment is one of the main reasons I’m transitioning my primary blog from johndilbeck.editthispage.com to 21stCenturyAffiliateMarketing.com.

The former is powered by Manilla (from Userland Software) and offers lots of great things that I don’t really use to the fullest extent.

To comment, one has to log in. I’ve been told by many people that they didn’t comment because of that.

The same thing happened with some of my blogs on blogger.com.

So, I set up the new blog and I’m already getting comments. Not bad for a brand-new blog.

It’s quite a coincidence, but this morning I added CommentLuv, DoFollow and the RSS footer plugin recommended by PotPieGirl.com to my new primary blog.

A few days ago, I added SezWho in the hopes of attracting more active commenters and to enable ranking articles and comments.

I would like the option for following comments via email. How do you do that on this blog?

In summary, I agree about having to log in to comment. I find that I do it much less frequently now than I may have in the past.

Act on your dream!

It looks really good, Christine. Now I can hardly wait for the playoffs so we can finally talk to each other.

I remember your talking about that issue, Sire. I’m not sure I’ve had that many to really worry about thus far.

I am actually testing a new plugin where you set the word limit for each comment so that I can weed out the “nice blog” comments. I’ve set it for 15 words so far as I reckon that is an ‘OK’ amount to strive for.

The thing is, Sire, there’s so many plugins for WordPress blogs that all it takes is a little effort and knowledge and you can stop almost all spam. Right now, I can’t think of one spam post that’s ever made it to this blog, and I think I’ve only had one or two on my business blog this year that made it through the filters.

Mitch:

I remember the shout out from last year..:-) I actually use WordPress–so I am going to talk with by webmaster about some of the things you mentioned in your post. I would love the loosen the rules on the whole sign in to post thing–but every time I have, all I get is garbage, which is unacceptable…:-)

Be well….
