As bloggers, we all know how good it can be for us to have a solid commenting system. Our visitors are our commentaters and if we don’t hear from them there is no way we can progress as a blogger. Well, IntenseDebate comments is a WordPress plugin that enhance and encourage conversation on your blog so you can create a reader community and increase your comments. There is a custom integration with the admin panel so you won’t have any problems with moderation.
You will see that you can do much more because you can comment threading, reply-by-email, user accounts and reputations, comment voting, along with Twitter and friendfeed integrations enrich your readers’ experience and make more of the internet aware of your blog and comments which drives traffic to you! You will also receive IntenseDebate email notifications alert you and your readers of new comments, encouraging return visits so you can get more comments. You can reply to and moderate comments via email, while threading makes it easy to follow the conversation and everything will be on your own server.
I prefer default commenting system as it is customizable.
yes i prefer the default commenting system is better but customizable? intense debate and disqus are also customizable
Intense Debate has got a lot of options but the main problem I found with Intense Debate is that it slows down our blog. Once I used Intense Debate in my blog, but due to this slowness I moved back to the default commenting system.
thanks rojish, yes intense debate can take a lot of space haha and can slow down your stuff. I myself use the default commenting system.
I agree with Naser, but I think this pluggin would be great to get people to want to leave comments in a post.
