I always make sure my sites are OpenID enabled. That way users can still comment without having to register.

I also allow trackbacks & pingbacks
although they are mostly being used by spammers.

Seconded! I agree wholeheartly about commenting/blogging being a 2 way street.

One thing in my case, it’s more tricky…I’m Deaf and thus my primary language is sign language so I operate a vlog, signing in BSL (British Sign Language).

However it’ve always seemed a bit daft that while I vlog in BSL, I get comments in a different language – English(!) So I’ve been looking into how I can enabled a video-based comment for my blog – that would be a killer feature.

Agreed on both points, and thanks for the link to the contact form plugin. I’ve been meaning to implement something like that for a while now.

Glad to see you mentioned the Math Comment Protection Plugin too. I installed that plugin on my blog a few weeks ago and since then I haven’t received a single SPAM message.

What’s funny is that I was working on a comment form for mine just a couple of days ago, and I got distracted. I’ll try and get it up there ASAP, just for you.

"My second pet peve is needing to register on a blog in order to leave a comment."

I hear you on that one. I don't want to be registering on some weird fella's blog, sending my password in clear text (over HTTP, as nobody likes using HTTPS) and having access to the MD5 sum, so they can run a cracker on it.

ubu user – I am working on a site redesign that should make things easier to navigate. I understand some of you concerns and they have been on my mind too. I hope to have the design taken care of over the next few weeks.

I agree with your comments, but do look within too. I have found your blog hard to navigate with all the google ads, especially where one linked to http://www.microsoft.com/uk/windowsserversystem/wccs/default.mspx

Only trying to give constuctive criticism, please do not see it as anger from here.

Good points, as for the registration, the sooner blogs accept OpenID, the better.
