I know there have been times I would have liked to let the person who wrote a post that I really liked it, but did not want to fill out my name, email and other information. I have found that I respond well to anonymous "comments".

This is how you can allow this type of anonymous interaction appear on your website with the use of a simple plugin.

Hi Terea, This is a great plugin and will be bookmarking this. I had no idea it existed. By the way, your training is clear enough. Thanks a lot.

Great, and as far as I can see, you can enter your own button text, does it count as much as comments, or is there a counter on it?

It counts, but I doubt it has the weight of an official comment. There is a counter available in settings and it will even show which is the most chosen answer.

It's a great idea for what you have proposed about remaining anonymous, but there is a draw-back that might apply here.

It's not a discouragement to write a comment, but it might engage the "laziness" in some people and therefore you might get less comments than you would get without the activated plugin. Only in this way, I'd be a little leery about using it.

On the other hand, if someone really wants to comment, they will and, as you say, it would be a way for folks who do not want to disclose who they are or their other demographics, it's a way to get feedback.

Getting comments is an important aspect of engagement with other people and adds to the content, which in turn, helps with ranking, not to mention building relationships with your readers..

These are my thoughts about it Tria.

Thanks Daniel, I share your thoughts, but also realize that I leave pages with no interaction. Yes, it is best to receive comments. This is an alternative for people like me, who do not want to engage in certain subjects. I still like to share with the author my opinion of the article.

Hey Daniel, I've never thought of this perspective either. Good point.

It allows the reader of your blog to "comment" with the push of a Button to your Post. I will add a pic to the post so it is much easier to understand. Thanks for you interest Rick!
