Wordpress comment opt-in?

[StephenT]

Okay, I said I wouldn't ask any more questions so Lynn doesn't throw me out, but. . .

I see on some wordpress blogs there is a seemingly opt-in spot for making comments. If you want to comment you have to give your name, email address, and website, if you have one. Is this from an auto-resonder plugin, or just something from WP that I haven't seen yet?

It's a standard part of wordpress - you just need to make sure commenting is enabled.

So it is! I had not seen it before on my own blog! Perhaps, (Hopefully) that will be my dumb question for the day!

It's not an opt-in though, as in building a list, it's just a standard comment form.

Yep. I had just not seen it on my own, I guess because I am usually in the admin and it doesn't show there. I know, I need to get aweber, I'm just dragging my feet until I see some traffic. I'm still not sure about the whole list thing.

You should definitely view your blog from the browser after you publish a post, to make sure it displays correctly and that all of the features are working...
