WordPress: Remove the Website Field From the Comment Form

On my WordPress (self hosted) site I’ve noticed a lot of people using the URL field on the comments box to link to a lot of pointless sites, therefore I felt it necessary to remove the option all together. I’m not yet sure how fool proof this is but only time will tell and if it needs improving I’ll look into it at that point.

Add a Facebook ‘Like’ Button to your WordPress Blog Posts

With over 50, 000 websites adding the ‘Like’ button within the first week, I saw this as something that simply needs to be added to my WordPress site to stay up with the web trend.

This is no more difficult than my other WordPress post for adding share buttons, please refer to this post for more information :-)

Add ‘Share This’ Buttons to your WordPress Blog Site

I was testing out different plugins, for WordPress 2.9.2, to add some ‘Share This’ buttons at the bottom of each post but I didn’t really like most of the ones I was finding :( I also ran into a problem where the ‘Google Buzz’ button didn’t feature in all plugin sets, I had to use a separate plugin for that :-? So I ended up with 2 ideas that I was playing with and after adding lines of code to each page I soon began to think on the level ‘Isn’t their a quicker way?’. The sites I was looking at are: Social Bookmark and the Add This Button. You will need to sign up to ‘AddThis.com’ for the personalised Bookmark and Share links.
