"#10 would help... I agree entirely, 95% of the time I run into a blog that requires me to register to post, any comment I would have left there is left to the wind."And you have to realize that we make registrations necessary sometimes because:a) We're getting HAMMERED by blogspam bots and our spam catchers aren't keeping up with it. Easiest way to stop that is make comments logged-in-only for a while.b) Some anonymous troll is f**king stuff up for everyone else. Same solution as #1.
Problogger seems to me one of the most sensible 'teachers' on blogging on the Net. I've got his site bookmarked, and come back to it regularly. His point about not having to register to leave a comment is very much to the point. It's a great irritant to people who'd like to comment.
Several good suggestions in this article. I'm going to test them out. I'll let you know the results. I have a big problem getting comments.thematrix777

whatever you people say, the points are logical and can definitely help one stimulate a discussion about the particular posts.
