Tweaking the comments feature

October 7, 2009 at 10:47 pm

When I moved Media Nation from Blogger to WordPress in August, I quickly found that one feature actually got worse — posting comments became more difficult.

I just installed one feature you should find useful. Now, next to the “post” button, you’ll find a “preview” button, which will allow you to see what your comment will look like before you upload it.

This is especially useful if you’re entering hyperlink code by hand and want to make sure you’ve got it right — that is, if you’re typing:

<A HREF=”http://www.thephoenix.com”>Boston Phoenix</a>

Hit “preview” and you’ll see it as Boston Phoenix.

    Post? C’mon, that went out of business in 1956. Good read: Newspaper Row. I’d have to look up the author.
