theNotice has finally switched off the default blogger commenting system :) I really hope you guys like it, but please let me know if you don’t!! I needed something to filter out an IP that’s been spamming a few of my posts, and it was time anyways *shrugs*

The main impacts:

• If a comment made by you has been approved before, your comments shouldn’t need to be moderated ever again!
• Old posts will have the old comment system, new ones will have the IntenseDebate system.
• Comments can now include links and photos.
  
• You can comment as a guest, or via an account at IntenseDebate, Twitter, or OpenID. You can’t post via your Blogger or WordPress account anymore, as far as I know, but fret not! Instead of having your profile linked to your name, the comment will link directly to your blog/website. Handy, right?
• I hate how the “Google Followers” box looks, but you can now subscribe to theNotice at the same time as you make a comment — I know some of you had asked for an easier way to subscribe when you filled out your surveys! I’ll have a how-to diagram up in a few minutes.
  
• The most important one for me? Comments can be threaded!!! I’ve always wanted to do this, so I’m super-excited =D

Go ahead, give it a try… you know you want to!

Edit: just found out that CommentLuv and IntenseDebate can be used together… yes!! For those of you that don’t have either and do have a blog, I definitely recommend getting at least one of them. CommentLuv adds a link to one of your recent posts to your comments, which is pretty awesome, right? Clearly, I had to add on CommentLuv! Not sure if it will work on this post, but it certainly will for future ones.
