Visitors can engage with blog posts through comments, fostering meaningful discussions and interactions. Here's how the commenting system works:

Adding Comments

Visitors can comment on individual blog posts by:

• Clicking the post title to view the full content
• Scrolling to the comment box below the post
• Entering their comment
• Using Preview to check formatting (optional)
• Clicking Publish comment to post

Anonymous Comments

When anonymous commenting is enabled:

• Visitors must provide a name
• Email and website URL are optional
• No login required to comment

Interaction Features

Visitors can engage with existing comments through:

• Reply threads (limited to six levels deep)
• Like buttons to show appreciation
• Flag button to report inappropriate content
• Comment sorting options (Newest, Oldest, Most/Least Likes)

Moderation Tools

To maintain quality discussions:

• Administrators can enable automatic moderation
• Comments flagged multiple times are sent for review
• Moderators can review flagged content
• Spam and offensive content can be removed

The comment section only appears on individual blog posts, not the main blog landing page. Template designs may vary in how comments are displayed and accessed.

For best engagement:

• Enable anonymous comments
• Allow comment threads
• Enable comment likes
• Set up appropriate moderation settings
• Choose a default comment sorting order

These features help create an active, engaged community while maintaining discussion quality.
