@Julie – I wrote for several months before I had any readers at all. I may start updating and reposting some of that material.

@Sire – There’s so many cool plugins for comments out there! This one may eventually (maybe now) be worthwhile, but it’s really hard to test a comment plugin on your own blog, and the risk of losing commenters is high.

FWIW, I skip commenting on blogs running Intense Debate as well.

I’ve never tried that plugin and honestly, by the sounds of it I never will. As far as I am concerned you want to make it as easy as possible to leave a comment, and this plugin seems to be against that.

I had a look at smashing magazine, and I found it extremely confusing, I would much rather put up with ‘boring posts’.

@Gabe – Mid-Jan is what I’m thinking as well. If they don’t ship within a week or so, Christmas season will overwhelm everything.

WP 2.9 will be amazing! The feature list is pretty impressive.

I’m guessing a mid-Jan ’10 release at this point.

Wow, I am glad you were able to comment on mine, if you hadn’t I wouldn’t have followed your link. You have so much information here, not sure how I missed it considering we both visit FWJ. Very nice- will be passing it on.

@Annabel – Wait ’til you get a load of what’s coming in 2.9. The new article type feature is going to provide amazing power.

@Barbara – I suspect that all commenting systems are going to have CommentLuv’s feature, soon. Or they will lose market share.

I generally much prefer to leave posts at CommentLuv enabled blogs – the WP-Spamfree does’nt bother me that much. But..to each their own.

I love the name of your blog and the wordpress angle. I got into wordpress and my husband is digging it too. There’s a lot to learn though and sometimes it is overwhelming, even for an experienced web user like me. Still, a challeng is always good. Off to read your caving article now and see if that shines a light on any of my blogging probs:)

Many thanks for sharing your tips!
