Enabling Comment Moderation

There are a number of ways for you to deter people from leaving inappropriate comments on your blog.

Firstly, under the Settings tab, go to Comments.

What you see in this picture are recommended selections. You will not get the most out of blogging and the ensuing conversations if you disallow comments. These selections ensure that comments can't be left anonymously.

To provide further protection for yourself (and your students), you can enable comment moderation. This means that before a comment can be published, you are sent an email alerting you to a comment that has been left for your moderation. You can then choose to either accept, reject or moderate the comment before it is published.

The slideshow below shows you how to do this:
