I added a comment captcha checkbox to this site last week after multiple weeks of high volumes of spam comments. Here's how it went.

If you're one of the few who attempt to leave a legitimate comment here, you're going to notice a comment form checkbox now.

When someone left me a comment accusing me of copyright infringement, something seemed off. So I did a little checking on the claim.

This past week, I had two rude comments come through my moderation cue. They did not make the cut, so you won't see them.

As a blogger, you owe it to your readers and the performance of your website to delete spam comments. (And don't feel guilty about it!)

A recent article gave a glowing review for a commenting system. I considered giving it a try...until I saw there was a monthly fee.

For years, I suggested that bloggers should avoid moderating comments to encourage more discourse among their visitors. That was then....

I once hosted a #Bloggab chat on 17 specific blog elements and how important they are. I'm finally going to give my take on 'Need It or Not'!

Would you say blogging changed a lot of the last decade or remained largely the same? Here's the biggest change I've seen and one constant.

If you're looking for ways to get more comments on your site, I found a comments stat about WordPress blogs you may hate to read!

Two weeks ago, I began an experiment here at 'Patrick's Place' searching for an alternative that might be better than blog comments.

For years, I've watched a growing trend of bloggers closing comments on their sites. I've always argued against doing so.

If you noticed over the past few years that people's online manners have largely disappeared, you certainly aren't alone.

Over the years, I've talked a lot about comments: Are they important? Should you allow them? Should you turn them off? Is deleting comments ever OK?

If you're a longtime blogger, you've already pondered the big comment problem that has been affecting the blogosphere for years.
