Dealing With Comments

Comments should be set up to manually approve and normally Canada Web Design Services does this for you when we build your website. When someone post a comment on your article, you should receive an email and must login to your admin panel and manually approve. To do this, login and go to COMMENTS on left side of admin panel. Then go to the comments and either approve or delete the comment.

Even though it is good to get comments for your articles, you will find that you will also get lots of spam. Sometimes its best to just turn off comments. You can do this by going to Setting, Discussion, and un-clicking everything.
