Summary

Your comment system should now be positively singing along. You've seen how to help your visitors post comments, and you've explored the features Movable Type provides for managing them after they're submitted. If you're having real problems with comment spammers that manual management and IP banning aren't solving, you should be sure to take a look at Hour 22, “Movable Type Plug-Ins,” where we'll work with a plug-in called MT-Blacklist that might help.

In the next hour we'll take a look at a feature somewhat related to comments, called TrackBack.
