A Note on Comments

Filed under: Blogging Matters — DRJ @ 6:16 pm



[Guest post by DRJ]

Recently there seem to be more comments caught in the spam filter than usual and sometimes several hours go by before they are caught. This can make conversations seem disjointed as comments are delayed. It also changes the comment numbers.

Stashiu3 noted this on another thread and suggested that commenters who want to reference or respond to specific comments should do so by using the comment date/time stamp instead of the comment number.

I think that’s a good idea and I’m going to use that from now on. It doesn’t mean others need to do this but I wanted to clarify why it might be helpful.

  1. This is more of a ‘comment on comments’. Just sayin’.

  2. Excellent idea. Had found that frustrating too.

  3. I wish I’d thought of that, Kevin.

  4. I don’t read all the comments. Skipping over some would be easier if the names were at the top, next to the numbers. Thanks for your consideration.
