Absolute Beginner Blogging #4 Handling Comments
By dk on Apr 16, 2008 in wordpress
So by this time, I expect that you have posted a few blogs. If you have a standard wordpress installation, then people can leave comments on your blogs. The easiest people to get to do this, are people you know. Say to your friends and family, “Hey, come read this and leave a comment!”
After they leave a comment it may show up and it may not.
If you log into wordpress you will find a tab that says Comments.
Click on the tab.
If you click on the line that says Awaiting Moderation, then you will see any comments that are not yet showing up. You can select the little box next to the comment to tell wordpress that is the comment about which you are going to tell it what to do.
If you want to approve it, then just click on Approve.
If you want to delete the comment, then just click on Delete.
If you think the comment was crummy advertising, then you can mark it as spam.
Now if you look at the post, you will see the comments you approved show up under the post!
