Benefits of enabling blog comments
March 27th, 2009
However, as I review my previous post about my successful PayPal withdrawal, I noticed realized that I have just reaped the benefits of enabling comments on weblogs. I couldn’t have used PayPal if I haven’t read thru the many comments by the good netizens out there.
Comments also enable a blogger to create a community for his posts. Most of the times, the people who commented would subscribe to his feed either for a follow-up or for another round of interesting topics.
Realizing my big newbie mistake, I immediately enabled comments for the whole site, editted my previous posts, and wrote this post to tell you:
You are welcome to comment, pingback, trackback, or personally contact me.
Finally, we are allowed to comment on your blog. Sounds great! count me in to your community.

@Cyril Pauya
Thanks for adding my blog. luckily i blogroll your former blog that’s why i got to know your new site immediately.
And it is thru new comments you gained your new online friends
@Dexter | Tech A Hand Dot Net
You are right.
Thank you for visiting my blog.
Student diay nimo si Ian sa una bay? Hehe.. Ing-ani pud ko sa first site nako (http://www.ark.i.ph), it doesn’t matter to me kung may magcomment or wala. Ok lang at first but later, you’ll realize how boring blogging becomes kung wala ka’y kainteract sa imuhang ginapost. Mas lingaw diay kung may gacomment. At least marealize pud nimo nga naa pud diay gabasa sa imuhang mga yawyaw kahit papaano, hehe.. And of course, you’ll also learn from their shared insights.
BTW, you can install the Akismet plugin. I have been using it to filter spam comments.
@ark
Hehe… correct! Blogs are boring and dry and alone without comments. And as Dexter said above, you get to know new friends.
Ahead ko kay Ian a few years ata at NDU. I actually saw your blog from his blogroll.
Thank you for the Akismet suggestion. I am using WordPress 2.7.1 and I think it is already installed by default. Maybe I just didn’t see it working yet… hehe
I agree with ark sir cy, You should use Akismet but first you need to acquire your WordPress.com API key for it to work.
Explore ko kasi WordPress started last two weeks ago and i found it interesting kaya nalaman ko about Akismet.
@ianemv
Thanks for the feedback. I already have Akismet installed so I could sleep well.
Wordpress is indeed wonderful, with lots of options and plugins to use.

Hi John Will, thank you for visiting my blog. Regards.
Hi GopsGoawn, thank you for visiting my blog.
The thing that might be great in regards to this website is if you had the ability to subscribe to discussions which you produce; Is this feasible?
Hiya, I’ve just signed up here and I’ve a issue. Occasionally any time I push the back key within my internet browser I’m instantly sent straight to the webpage I’ve just come from.
Is this intended to occur?
Many thanks
