You guys may have seen that we recently switched to WordPress but were forced to switch back. There were some technical details that was making our site unavailable both yesterday and today. I really like the WordPress platform but we’ll have to address those issues before we move forward and make the switch.

Thanks for your suggestions.

I run www.recessionsurfer.com on it without trouble. IMHO Typepad is reliable, easy-to-use and very popular. I run http://www.recessionsurfer.com on it without trouble.

They seem to have problems with it from time to time. I don't know if you can use it with Wordpress, I intend to find out when I switch back, but Infectious Greed, Kedrosky's site, has a dynamite comments program. It's called Intense Debate and is actually a mini-social networking/comments program. Don't know the cost but it works like a charm. Great for back and forth with you and commentators. It also spits out an email with your comment to the person who left the comment.<br/><br/>Let me know if you come across anymore as I am switching back.<br/><br/>Tom Lindmark You might want to talk to CR about Halogen.

Let me know if you come across anymore as I am switching back.

I noticed that Calculated Risk uses HaloScan for comments and Mish Shedlock uses JS-Kit. Do you have any thoughts on either of those comment platforms?<br/><br/>I have also seen disqus mentioned as well.<br/><br/>Ed Thanks Tom,

That is very useful. I noticed that Calculated Risk uses HaloScan for comments and Mish Shedlock uses JS-Kit. Do you have any thoughts on either of those comment platforms?

I have also seen disqus mentioned as well.

The company decided to do away with the blog so I decided to set up my own. I tried Typepad but that was ridiculous so I went to Blogger for the ease of getting it going. What a mistake. Wordpress is to Blogger as a Porsche is to a Smart Car. You'll find it much easier and flexible, particularly for formatting and importing. The only thing I didn't like was Wordpress's comment function. You might want to replace it with another. That's the only place Blogger has it beat.
