    At Kay’s recommendation, I’ve tossed IntenseDebate, and trying out Disqus for managing comments. Seems to be a little bit less intrusive, so we’ll see how we go.

  2. New Feature: IntenseDebate

    I’ve just added in a new feature here on TheGeoffRe(y)port, called “IntenseDebate“. It’s a plugin from Automattic (the main WordPress guys), that is designed to improve the commenting functionality of the blog. The main features I can see are that if you want to reply directly to a comment, you can hit the reply button, making it clear who your comment is directed at (play nicely children). Also, you can signify that you agree, or disagree with someone’s comment by giving them a thumbs up or thumbs down, and so comments will end up with a score.

    So, have a visit (if you’re an RSS reader), and let me know what you think – I’m not 100% sold on it yet, and I’m not certain that I like having to rely on an external service for my comments to come up. But it’s kinda cool, so I’d love to know what you think.

    If you even care.
