But seriously, how did you integrate the Edit Comments and the nested comments. I’m going quite mad.

I do love threaded comments though.. somehow I can’t get it to work properly and look nice on Dosh Dosh, which is really a pity because it approves interaction among commenters by a great deal.

I also really appreciate the link to WP-AJAX Edit Comments. I think it is a wonderful idea to be able to allow the commenter to edit their comment. You feel like a right idiot when you hit publish, and then reread your comment and immediately see a glaring spelling mistake. The ability to edit a comment is a gift. Although I do tend to correct grammar and spelling mistakes on my readers’ comments – in order to save their blushes – I’ll give this plugin a go, so that it gives them still more of a fighting chance.

Thank you very much.

My content pages rank higher than those of some A-list bloggers because of my page structure, despite them probably gaining a lot more links than me.

Hmm, how do I prove that?

How about my disagreement with Robert Scoble over Google Reader and sharing content.

Here is a Google Search for part of his blog post.

That text only appears on my page as a trackback, and I am fairly sure Roberts page received more links, and that was around the time he switched domains as you will see that the trackback URL is from his current domain.

My blog at the time of that post was only 2 weeks old. We have both benefited from some redirects from old domains, but overall Robert’s blog gains a lot more link love than I do.

Yet I outrank him for his own words.

Short term he would certainly out rank me, but long term my site structure gives my content more longevity.

Ah, but I am more relevant for the term “Andy Beard” here is another search.

In this case Robert appears first

But maybe it is “neck and neck” as here is one that again I appear first.

Both me and and Robert are fairly relevant on things to do with Google Reader, I get search traffic all the time.

DoFollow is here to stay, and I will be continuing my evangelism for removing nofollow.

Thanks for all the blog tips. You keep them coming so fast I can’t keep up. I’ve been paying close attention since you first implemented the comment policy cookie.

Will you keep passing link juice to your commenters once you make the a-list?

To counter that argument, sometimes people might click away before reading all the comments, or reaching the comment box.

I am also thinking about changing the order things appear within the comment area, because it might be better to have the text area right at the top, followed by the required fields, then the legal junk, and lastly a submit button.
This might make it easier to reference the comment you are responding to.

I want to encourage people where appropriate to use code with the right tags so it is displayed correctly and if people want to bold something or include an image they can.

Also remember that it isn’t just readers who use the comment form, but I use it as well.
Being able to format my replies and link through to posts quickly is a time saver, and I am HTML conversant, it is just less typing.
