Blogging and Comments

There is always a lot of debate about the value of allowing comments on a blog.

On the Pro side you have things like:

  • Comments foster community.
  • Comments allow readers to add valuable insights to a top
  • Comments are what makes a blog a blog

On the Con side:

Dang, I can’t even think of any cons to allowing comments! I mean, just look at this comment left just a few minutes ago by an Amishrobot reader from Houston Texas:
