Blogger New Commenting Feature

Thursday, August 12, 2010

Blogspot has a new feature implemented again - this time it's a new feature for comments.



Now you can manage the comments received on your Blogger blog. It will be with one of the tabs with the other navigation, such as Edit Post, Settings, Designs and Monetize.



Here's how the navigation bar look now.



blogger comment feature navigation
With the commenting feature, now you can easily check on published comments, comments that are awaiting moderation and spam comments.



To be honest, it's almost like Wordpress now - except Wordpress has a "Trash" are once you deleted a particular comment, probably just in case you want to recover it back.



But when you delete comments on Blogspot, that cannot be undone.



blogger comment published


This is how the "Published" section look like - with complete information such as comment author, commented blog post and the date.



blogger comment awaiting moderation


Comments "Awaiting Moderation" section. It's self-explanatory.



blogger comment spam


And lastly, the "Spam" section. Haven't gotten any in my spam inbox right now, hopefully it works against automated spam comment bots.



Take note: It's not implemented on all blogs, yet. Only a handful of blogs has this feature - probably all will have it in the near future.
