Comment Box Code

Interested in adding a comment box to your static web pages?

I was interested in doing this as well! But I quickly found that there was no easy way to add a comment box to a static web page. Therefore, I decided to create my own Spry comment box that is tied to a WordPress backend.

Why WordPress?

WordPress already has some well-tested and effective comment moderation functions, including the ability to detect and filter spam. By tying my Spry comment box to WordPress, I need not repeat all these nifty built-in comment functions from WordPress.

Another comment box functionality that you may find useful is importing HubPages comments into your WordPress comment database.

Why import HubPages comments into WordPress?

If you would like to move a HubPages article onto your website or onto WordPress, you can now easily do so without giving up any of your old comments.

Similarly you can use WordPress to create a central repository for your HubPages comments in case you decide to delete non-performing HubPages articles,  or simply as a comments backup facility.

Some other useful web design techniques that are related include learning how to process a HubPages HTML page using PHP code, as well as learning the WordPress XML import format.

As you see, comments boxes can be easy and fun. Enjoy!
