Comment Option for Blogs

Blog authors have the option of allowing or disallowing comments. The Security Response blog does not allow comments.

Dear Leslie,

Would you be able to help where this option located? In 'Create Blog Entry' for 'Symantec Connect' category also the option does not seem to be there. I have attached a screenshot with all outlining expanded.

deepak,

This option is determined when the blog itself is set up. Or can be done on a one-off basis by administrators.

Dear Leslie,

I am trying to compose a blog as an offshoof of the topic mentioned in the initial thread (https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/blogs/news...). I was just wondering if I could post it in Connect section instead of Security because the former has provisions for comments right?

Can you guide me or enable commenting on my blog post? I sincerely feel that blogs should have comments enabled because that is what make it stand different from normal classic plain vanilla webpages in providing and featuring with a full duplex communication with the readers. I admit that there is a comment-spamming issue but we can make use of tools like Akismet which offer spam protection. If not Akismet the rudimentary CAPTCHA and/or moderation tools should help us instead of removing the feature altogether.
