Blog comments appear in search engines - not to mention that lots of other people read comments as well as the posts on blogs they like. So it's a good policy to avoid saying anything you don't want the world to know you said. :-)&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I have found that I get a lot more comments since I've enabled Do Follow, so if you like warm fuzzies, Do Follow generally gets you more of them. Of course, right at first, at least, it also generates more spam comments. But those tapered off after the spammers realized their comments weren't appearing. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Commenting on a Blogger blog is a pain - not as bad as Orble, but certainly more challenging than WordPress and several other blog platforms. I do have a Blogger blog just to use on blogs that won't allow anyone without a Blogger ID to comment. But most of the time I don't even bother to comment if I have to jump through lots of hoops. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Even though I don't appreciate bloggers not allowing other identities, I think it's fine to disallow anonymous comments. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I like I Reply and have the icon on my sidebar to let commenters know what has always been my policy.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9136997034639720619/3513847412212440760/comments/default/6178574612499408672'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9136997034639720619/3513847412212440760/comments/default/6178574612499408672'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.hummiesworld.com/2007/08/building-community-through-comments.html?showComment=1186953840000#c6178574612499408672' title=''/><author><name>Lillie Ammann</name><uri>http://www.lillieammann.com/blog</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img1.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://blog.hummiesworld.com/2007/08/building-community-through-comments.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136997034639720619.post-3513847412212440760' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9136997034639720619/posts/default/3513847412212440760' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-585843053'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136997034639720619.post-5480746110599897194</id><published>2007-08-12T15:34:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-08-12T15:34:00.000-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Hi Hummie, thanks for the spotlight on iReply.
