Comments: WordPress VS Blogger

I just noticed something.....

I like posting comments in WordPress because when you do, you can still see the original post. This makes it really easy to reply. Blogger takes you to a new, blank page and I have found that I often forget what I wanted to say and have to open the original post again in another page--*very* annoying!

I agree, wordpress seems to handle comments better. However, Blogger does have a little link at the top of the comment page - "Show Original Post" that loads the post to the left of the comment box. It's handy - and I'd be pretty lost without it!

Ahhh...I didn't even notice the link. Well, that's great!

I completely agree with you! And yet another feature that Livejournal has! (They should pay me for all this promotion!)

One thing about LJ though is that if you are responding to a comment (rather than to the post as a whole), then you only see that comment on-screen as you prepare your response. If there is a chain of comments, each responding to the one before, you will only see the comment you chose to respond to, not the other comments or the overall post. I don't think anyone else has a better system, though.
