Testing Intense Debate



Hi all!

I'm trying a new commenting feature called Intense Debate. Would love to know your opinion.

You should also be able to reply to others like in Live Journal with this feature.

Edited to add: Several people have asked that I look into the Disqus commenting program, too. So I set up another test blog with Disqus to give it a whirl. If you'd like to see it, click here.

Let's hope this works!
Seems nice! Some people have had problems with it so I hope you don't!
It's so much nicer, being able to reply directly to comments!

"Intense Debate" sounds too hardcore for me! I'll name my app "Half-Assed Discussion" ;-)

I'm trying to figure out the picture thing for me.
Oh, yippee! The avatar thing is retroactive. Cool. I'm definitely going to have to check into this for my blog. Thanks for the heads up.

Oo, I like it! I'm not usually a fan of comment threads with elaborate sign in procedures, but this doesn't look too bad. *ponders* Maybe I should try this gravatar thing too!

Very cool, Beth!

This is pretty nifty. It does make a nice change from the usual commenting set-up.

Testing, testing...one, two, three, testing. Do you read me, Beth? Looks good, even though I don't know how it works yet.

Great format. I should try something like this, as I would love to comment back as well. My worry is people might not be willing to take the time on commenting. (Hugs)Indigo

ooh I like this! I might have to do this to my own blog since I very much like replying to comments.

It looks good. But I didn't really have a problem with the old way. I don't think that many people comment on each others comments. Most of us are sadly too busy to get that involved. And it takes less steps to e-mail the other way. Our picture is linked to how we comment already. Just something to think about.

Oh this is so good! Thanks for sharing it. I may try it out on my blog. I was thinking of changing to word press for this very reason! But that would mean so much work! This looks easier :)

Wow. This is great!

Is it just me, or does anyone else find it annoying that you have to click on the number of comments and reload the page to read the comments? Is that just my system?

Hey Blogger, I want threaded comments too!

Thanks for testing these out Beth, it's interesting to see the reactions.
