Thank you Stephen - I looked at JComments and agree. Hopefully Joomla! 3 ver will not take long in coming.

It's probably the easiest way to add comments to a website, but the comments are hosted on the Disqcus site, making it lousy for SEO and the free version puts ads in the comments and looks ugly. If you want to give visitors the opportunity to post comments on stories, like the New York Times, you need a comments extension. My favorite comment extensions are: Komento - works in J 2.5 and 3.1. It's free, but there is a link back to the Stack Ideas website, still not bad. http://extensions.joomla.org/search?q=komento JComments - works great in J 2.5. Eagerly awaiting the version for 3.1. Free. On my short list of best Joomla extensions. http://bit.ly/NGJ4un RSComments - works in 2.5 and 3.1. From the wonderful folks at RS Joomla, makers of RS Forms. Paid, but cheap - 19 euros (about $25+). Blogs are for folks who like to write and want others to comment on what they have written. In the case of Joomla, all blogging extensions include a comment system and most add modules for categories, recent articles, tags, etc. There a many good blog extensions available for Joomla - K2 is free and very popular, RS Blog, Easy Blog, etc. The problem that I find with using these blogs is they add an extra articles layer. I would rather stick with the native Joomla 3.1 framework - which already comes with modules for latest articles, categories, most read articles, tags, etc. and add a good third-part extension like Komento or RS Comments. Although I know a lot of folks who love using Easy Blog and K2 for blogging. Try both methods and use the one you like best. Hope this helps. Have a great weekend. - - - Steve On Fri, Aug 9, 2013 at 1:04 AM, Unitel <unite...@gmail.com> wrote: Hello everyone! On the online version of the New York Times newspaper after reading an article you can write a comment. In order to do so you must create an account. What would be the equivalent in a Joomla extension? Would it be a blog, a forum, or comments such as Disqus comments?
