One of the most important parts of having a blog is to encourage others to post comments and create a conversation with you. Unfortunately, most Wordpress installations require your visitors to register prior to commenting. That sucks! Let’s turn that off…I’ll show you how!
I don’t quite understand this, but for some reason (by default), a new installation of Wordpress will usually require your visitors to register on your blog/website in order to leave a comment.
Personally, I don’t think that is a great way of encouraging comments (and for most of us, the point of having a blog is to encourage conversation with your visitors).
So how do you turn on (or customize) your Wordpress comment access?
It is really not hard (as long as you know where to look!).
First, select “Discussion” under the left column SETTINGS column:

From here, all of your default comments settings appear.

I personally allow all new visitors to post comments, as long as they provide a name and email address. (We’ll talk about moderation in the next post!)
Also, you can always override some of these settings within each post individually.

It is that simple!

My name is Matthew Bredel and as of March, 2007, I am a full-time, work-at-home internet marketer.
For close to 10 years, I worked for a defense company which was an OK job, but I was so uninspired in life and frankly, I needed some more money. That is when I first discovered internet marketing! Now I admit that I didn't start making thousands in my first couple of months (in fact, I lost my shirt!), but I finally saw the "internet light"...
