FWIW, I run my website www.beginningwithi.com as a website, because I started it that way years ago, and I don't like the lack of navigational structure in (default) blog templates. But, since DreamHost offers it as a one-click install, I set up a blog http://www.beginningwithi.com/comments/purely for comments. When I post a new article on the site, I usually create a comments page for it, and link that from the beginning of the web page.
I don't get a lot of comments anyway, and for a while I was drowning in comment spam (Akismet solved that), but the feature is there for those who want it. I did try a third-party comment app similar to the one mentioned a year or so back, but it does not embed comments in the page, so my own kludge solution is just about as good. -- best regards, Deirdré Straughan www.beginningwithi.com (personal) www.tvblob.com (work) [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
