WordPress: Copy My Comments Page WordPress Plugins I Use and Adore Forever Young Answers to Your Questions {Part Two} Changes and Rainbows
These are plugins I personally use and feel really enhance my comments page not only for me but for those who comment as well!
BackType Connect
This plugin will pull in comments from OTHER blogs that reference YOUR blog post. Not only that, but will pull from Twitter, FriendFeed, and more!
CommentLuv
The support is very quick, especially if you contact them via twitter. I love this plugin because it enables the commenter to quickly link to and display their OWN recent blog entry at the bottom of their comment. It brings them more traffic, gives you something new to read (and comment on!)
DoFollow
Basically this allows you to remove that pesky “nofollow” attribute from links. What that does is, again, bring more traffic and page rank to those who comment on your site! You can read more about the “nofollow” at SiteSketch101.
Subscribe to Comments
Just as the title suggests, this lets the commenter “subscribe” to the comments. This is great because I know if I leave a comment on a blog, I like to keep in the loop so to speak, return, etc.
WP Twitip
This easily adds a field for people to input their twitter id. I’ve found that my commenters tend to get new followers this way!
Thanks for this. Working on tweaking my comments section and these will be loads of help in making it.. I dunno.. worth while? Nobody wants to comment if the commenting area looks all ugly (which mine does).

Hey Sara, Question for you — also about commentluv. It has been displaying a post I posted days ago (see below) instead of the ones (or most recent one) I’ve posted since then. Any idea why? I’ve never had a problem with them before.

@Keeshia I do feel that when you work hard on your comment page design it does encourage readers to comment. Things like CAPTCHA just annoy the heck out of me and takes forever to write a simple comment!
@Melodie hmm the only reason it would do that is if something was weird with your RSS feed as that’s where CLUV is pulling the data from. It probably is working fine now I hope!
Those are great plugins! I’m going to try out “BackType Connect” “CommentLuv” and “WP Twitip”. thanks for

Once your comment is posted it then is the property of OSN. I can edit, format, reuse or delete the comment as I wish, or display it for as long as I wish. I will not necessarily offer reasons or any warning why I have altered or deleted a comment.
Occasionally your comment may be held for moderation, it's not done on purpose, but sometimes WordPress may be confused, I will manually approve your comment as soon as I can, and apologize for the delay.
Email AddressesCorrect email addresses are required. Email addresses will never be published. Email addresses will not be shown in comments. Please leave your correct email address (as in youNOSPAM@domain.com or youREMOVE@domain.com are not correct) it is so I have the ability to reply to your comment via email. I will edit out the NOSPAM or REMOVE in the email field.
What is not acceptableProfanity, poor spelling and grammar, personal attacks, and off-topic comments.
AvatarsThe avatars that are shown are via Gravatar. If you do not have one associated with your email address it will show a default image, however I suggest you sign up to get one since many blogs use this feature!
Commenting Additions You may use the following mark-up within your comments. I only permit XHTML mark-up at this time. Line breaks are converted automatically.
<a href="http://onestarrynight.com"> <img src="http://onestarrynight.com/osn.png" /> </a>Or become a fan of OSN on FaceBook!
622 tweeps are following me, you should too!

The BackType one sounds really cool. I’m so mad at commentluv right now though. It will NOT let my feed show up on anybody’s pages. See below? NO LINK. And I cannot get it fixed. (insert many expletives here.)
