Integrated admin-tool
Since 2.0 you may edit and delete comments you don't like. simply login and edit within your blog, just as you are used to. Test it out! I have backups of my comments.
Comments Moderation
Since 2.2 you can enable comments-moderation. After you received a notification mail, comments will be shown only if you have reviewed them and classify them as no spam (by clicking the approve-link). This should be an effective feature to fight comments-spam or harassment by commenters you don't like.
This Feature is part of the integrated admin-tool.
Captchas
Since 2.3 you should be fine to use the Captcha-Feature to prevent any kind of spam, as long it is bot-generated. Humans who spam your site should be able to enter the code, anyway.
Notification services
blogkomm offers different kinds of notification mails that will be sent if someone posts a comment. The mail includes a direct link to the comment, the commenter's IP, and date and time.
Personal notification
a standard-function that you may switch on and off is the notification-mail you will receive as soon as someone posts a comment on a post.
blogkomm-discuss
The blogkomm-discuss-feature allows the comment-writer to be notified as soon as someone else posts a comment. What is the idea behind that? Sometimes you have a discussion thread developping out of a post you made in your weblog. your weblog will gain more interactivity if you use that.
Recent comments sidebar
Give your readers the chance to read the positive feedback on your website at the first glance, take a look at the left.
Comment permalink feature
Every comment is reachable with it's own link, the blog-typical permalink-feature.
Different settings and languages
blogkomm allows
readers to use html or you to disallow the usage- different time formats and time zone settings
- to show and customize in different languages: english, germen, french, spanish, italian, chinese, farsi, tcech, portuguese ...
All setting are easily to customize with the new setup-tool with integrated configuration via browser (since 2.1).
Validated XHTML and CSS
You get tableless XHTML when implementing blogkomm. CSS makes it easy to customize, so you don't have to be a PHP crack to adopt your own design.
different uses of blogkomm
blogKomm works with every weblog software that uses particular IDs for the single post. (Tested with MovableType) For realizing the implementation you just have to be able to to access the postID with a variable you can include into the blogKomm code snippet
That's all, means: you can easily include it into a manually driven weblog. Read the how to page for further information
Or you use blogkomm as an additional guestbook. For this you would maybe add the code somewhere on your site and include the same code as above. the PostID-variable would be for example "1", or your date of birth or whatever. that would be your choice. You dont have to modify, rename or copy the blogkomm-directory for that:
As a result: another posibility of using blogkomm is to use it for multiple weblogs on one server: You only need one installation of blogKomm.
