In the seventh video in this series, we’ll talk about how to enable and moderate comments on your WordPress blog, including tips on best practices to encourage interactive discussion from visitors to your blog.
Comments are a feature of blogs which allow readers to respond to Posts. Typically readers simply provide their own thoughts regarding the content of the post, but users may also provide links to other resources, generate discussion, or simply compliment the author for a well-written post.
Comments can be controlled and regulated through the use of filters for language and content, and even queued for approval before they are visible on the web site. This is useful in dealing with comment spam.
Covered in this video:
- How to enable Comments and Discussions.
- Best practices and settings for allowing Comments.
- Filtering comments for language and content.
- How to approve, edit, delete or mark a Comment as spam using the Comments SubPanel.
- Using the Akismet plugin to help filter spam.
