BP Web News and Tips: Give More Comment Luv on Blogger

CommentLuv is a plugin/gadget that displays the title and link to commentators' last blog post. This generous sharing of reader clicks is considered a valuable 'thank you' for visitor comments. I finally got around to adding this feature using their Blogger integration tool. It was quite easy, as long as you remember to go back in and visit the 'claim your site' page after adding the icon.

I was surprised that you also must use the JS-Kit for comments. But it turns out this is a feature rich comment system. It actually takes over your comments on a separate database, but synchronizes a backup version just in case you want to uninstall and go back to Blogger comments. I like the reply option and the use of avatars. It even has an Askimet spam control option.

Give it a try by leaving a comment on this post --- let me know whether you use the WordPress or Blogger CommentLuv and your experience! This will serve as a test also to see if everything is working. Thanks.

Also I've installed the Zemanta tool bar on my browser. It integrates with the dashboard for adding photos to blog posts. Images are Creative Commons license or free to share. Read more on BWS. See the related links generated by this tool based on the subject of this post.
