What is a Comment?
Readers’ written responses are added as comments to your blog postings. Visitors can interact with you and other readers through blog comments.
The commenter’s name, the date and the time they submitted the comment typically appear on the space immediately after the blog post’s content.
You and your readers can create a supportive community for your blog using the comment section. Readers are invited to comment, ask questions, or offer their own viewpoints on the subject.
