Hour 15. Taking Comments Further

In the last hour we covered the basic processes by which you can get Movable Type's comment system up and working on your site. In this hour we'll see how to make your comment system friendlier for your visitors, as well as take a look at the features the administration interface provides to help you manage your site's comments and commenters.

You'll see how to

  • Edit and delete comments that have been posted to your site

  • Add IP addresses to Movable Type's IP Ban List to prevent the people using them from posting comments
