Feel free to use my settings as a guide.

I highly recommend checking both of these boxes. It will make managing your comments much easier and keep unwanted spam and comments off your site.

Great presentation, Shawn...do you find it helpful to allow comments on your sites? How much moderation does that take on your part? Just curious...if this sounds dumb, well, I'm still in the basement finding my way back up!

I allow comments on most of my posts. They can be extremely helpful in ranking.
managing them is not a big deal as you will see in the next tutorial. :)

Like I always say, the only dumb question is one not asked. :)
