In early December, Blogger made it possible for users to link a blog to their Google+ account and access a prefilled Google+ share box after publishing a post.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><img style="margin:10px;" src="http://www.websitemagazine.com/images/blog/Blogger-threaded-comments.png" width="640" height="370" alt="" /></p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.websitemagazine.com/content/aggbug.aspx?PostID=18619" width="1" height="1">googlethreaded commentscommentingbloggerhttp://www.websitemagazine.com/content/blogs/posts/archive/2008/12/08/wordpress-gets-threaded-comments.aspxMon, 08 Dec 2008 13:32:00 GMT1e469e21-c924-44fa-a132-47b5d0a8ad47:6927Pete Prestipino0http://www.websitemagazine.com/content/blogs/posts/rsscomments.aspx?PostID=6927http://www.websitemagazine.com/content/blogs/posts/archive/2008/12/08/wordpress-gets-threaded-comments.aspx#comments<p>Another release of WordPress (version 2.7) is expected to be released this week. The big development is the addition of threaded comments. Threaded, or nested comments, are a&nbsp;way of displaying comments that allow visitors to reply to a previous viewer&#39;s comment as well as your blog post itself. The advantage of using threaded comments (one solution is the popular Disqus platform) is the increased/enhanced sense of community such an offering provides.</p> <p>It is important to note that if you choose to upgrade to version 2.7 of WordPress, you do not have to add threaded comments support to your theme. So if you are already using Disqus or another threaded comment plugin, you can continue to use it without any problem. The issue with built-in threaded comment support&nbsp;is that many of the themes currently in use do not support threaded comments, so there will be a little tweaking neccessary to get it working properly.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.websitemagazine.com/content/aggbug.aspx?PostID=6927" width="1" height="1">wordpresswordpress pluginsdisqusthreaded comments
