Hi Robert,

Great question. I left my thoughts on the site. I thought you should know though, I had a heck of a time leaving a comment – if it was for someone else I would have just given up!

I signed in via Twitter and it showed my photo and everything, but it still said I had to verify my email address before it would allow me to comment. I went through the proper steps and landed on Disqus.com, which was fine, but then it STILL wouldn't let me leave my comment (continually asked me to verify my email even though I already did)! I finally just posted as "Guest" to get it over with. 

Not a big fan of that plug-in…

Sorry for the rant, but I thought you should know in case it's deterring any of your readers from commenting.

Thanks!

Derek

I also left my thoughts. Having a disqus account already helped me putting the comment. I agree with Derek though, I hate disqus

I leave the guest option because it's just like the Wordpress settings. Once you have an account though, it's really easy.

 

As a site owner, Disqus has been great for several reasons. One, the only comments left are valuable because it does require a little extra hurdle. Two, no spam, ever. Three, it shows related posts, which yields about 40-50 referrers each day – way more than any other "Similar Post" plugin I've found.

Got it. Makes sense for what you've got then. And, yes, I do get about 50 spam comments a day that I need to mark and get rid of, so not having none would definitely be quite amazing.
