Upgraded to IntenseDebate comment system
 |
My blog hardly [or should I say doesn't even] comes close to having enough traffic to require a fancy comment system, but that doesn’t mean that I can’t install one! And that’s exactly what I’ve done.
Don’t get me wrong. I love WordPress, but it’s plain comment system just doesn’t do it for me. The lack of threaded comments and inability to approve comments without going to the website and manually doing so just leaves me wanting more. I mean, adding Gravitars to your blog can only spice it up so much.
Thankfully, I decided to check my RSS feeds before heading to bed and came across a little site called IntenseDebate. A few minutes ago I installed the latest beta of their WordPress plugin and I have to say this thing is beautiful. I haven’t even had a chance to completely dig into it yet, but I’m already in love.
Don’t take my word for it though. Dive on in. Leave me some comments, reply directly to others comments, and head over to the IntenseDebate blog and check out all the features they provide! For now I have to head off to bed.

Yes, sadly there was nothing to reply to. But, now that I've replied (via email on my iPhone). There should be!
Yes, I read about this service and it appears to be very well-done. Hmm, nothing for me to reply to. Oh well.
I'm replying just because I can (or should that be JustBecauseiCan?) – anyway, enough frivolity, I have no idea what all this is about but I like to comment and reply so here I am!
Reply by email definitely comes in handy on my iPhone. Hopefully we'll have an iPhone friendly version sometime in the future (I'm an iPhone junky and am always lobbying for it).
Thanks for the blog love and for giving IntenseDebate a try! Please feel free to give me a shout with any questions about ID.
iPhone friendly version? I'm there! That would definitely make things even cooler. Even better would be a stand alone app for the iPhone, but moderation via email on the iPhone works beautifully already. A Stand alone app / web app would just be icing on this already delicious cake!
