What is a Comment?
Comments are written reactions added by the readers to your blog posts. Blog comments allow your visitors to communicate with you and other readers.
Comments usually appear on the area right after the blog post content, along with the commenter’s name, date, and time they left the comment.
The comment area can be a great way for you and your readers to build a community around your blog. Readers can give feedback, ask questions, or provide their own point of view on the topic.
