Very, very cool!

Your Friend,

I think your option for editing has timed out (you can only edit for 15 mins after posting the comment)
Or maybe not as it looks like you edited it! It was the "Reply and Quote" thing that caused that gibberish. Nope -- it cleaned itself up when I turned off the reply/quote function.
You know, checking out the improvements to your website has a bit of the feel of checking out a friend's new car. Ooh! Aah!
Well done!

No wait, that's my ActiveRain comment (not).
Seriously, I like the Follow vs. No Follow for legit comments.
I'll have to play with this. Like the Gravatar too!

Thanks for sharing Jay!
Glad to see the KeywordLuv plugin installed. I have seen it on a few sites and thought the aspect of grabbing the last post on the person's blog was pretty sweet. I think that aspect alone encourages (or at least it should) constructive comments. If you make good comments then people will want to view your posts :)
<abbr>James Bridgess last blog post..How to go broke in real estate</abbr>
Now onto the most annoying part of being a "giving" blogger - watching out for those trying to game the system. Whether it be my A.D.D., or my generally good nature, I always try to make any reply something that contributes to the post rather than something that just "attaches" to it.
However, it's always unfortunate when you scroll through some posts (not here specifically, but on other blogs that either do follow or simply don't use Akismet or any filtering) and see a bunch of one liner replies or replies that are posted by someone with a very auspicious username and a seemingly unrelated or badly worded comment.
Hopefully you don't mind a little extra work that comes with such an open-use comment policy.
For those of us that love to reply with our own deep thoughts, it's always nice to not feel pressured to think "Ok, do I leave a long reply on this person's blog, or do I save some of these thoughts, keep it short, and just write a blog post instead". I may spend more of my energy commenting on friends' blogs than writing my own, but it's only because I try not to half-ass on either side.
With an open policy like this, we at least get a little bonus point or two for the times when we can't comment and write on our own end. You don't allow ourselves to feel punished for contributing, in other words.
I think what you are doing here with comments is a great idea. More blogs should incorporate these plugins and techniques. Not only does this help commenters in SEO but it helps the blog owner in social proof and credibility.
Thanks for sharing those plugins with us. In fact, I have some of them on my own blog for quite a while and they work very well.

I am very new to blogging and I alway read your new posts. Thank you for sharing all of your fabulous ideas and new plug-ins. One day, I will learn how to incorporate some of these great tools on my own blog.
Keep up the great work!

Jay, you never cease to amaze me at what you are willing to install and play with on your blog. Kudos for being so brave and installing everything known to man (at least once anyways), whether you know how/or if it works at all.
Looking forward to following a bit closer and seeing what comes of all this.
Your friend,

@Kim Stoegbauer - your RSS seem to be already auto detectable, but you did misspelled your domain name in the second comment.
P.S. Thanks to Jay's plugin collection, I now registered at Gravatar :) (but still don't see my mugshot here)
<abbr>Maxs last blog post..Plans OK'd for land near Desert Ridge</abbr>
Max - the comment edit and the recent post are two separate plugins. Looks like you've discovered an issue with them not playing 100% well with each other.
Gotta love auto-fill....typed my website wrong the first time I commented (noticed and fixed it right away) yet it auto-filled from the first comment when I made the second comment and I didn't catch it! (Can I edit it now, or it's too late?)
Still don't see my blog post link, but maybe it takes a little while?

I really like the keywordluv plug-in and was wondering if it put a noticeably greater load on your sever resources?

It turns out that I had to disable my Feedburner plugin before it could find mine. It may have been causing a timeout or simply obfuscating the feed location enough to make it impossible to find.
Also, lowering the amount of posts your feed shows can help too. 5-7 is a good number from what I've found. Hope it helps!

The anti spam math answer - is that a plug in? or part of your theme. I've seen it elsewhere and would love to have that.
(thank goodness it was an easy question this time, I didn't need my calculator - ha ha)

I love the fold in the corner - may I copy that slick idea? How hard was that to do?

Ned - the math anti-spam is a plugin. It is here.
It's also imperative of course to understand that the URL must be typed correctly and it will only pick up blog posts, not static web pages.
I think that these are some Great new tools, and I am looking forward to trying to use them within my blog.

@Jay - I thought you might find it interesting that the comment luv plug-in also picks up posts made in vBulletin forums. So, maybe it works for anything that has a RSS feed set up.

In these tough real estate times an agent has to find the "edge".
Keep up the good work!

The page rank formula still plays a role. I love the keywordluv plugin. For a blogger, link building through do-follow commenting is one of the necessary evils.
Thanks.
