In both cases it's about moderation and control of spam/sillyness. In blogging you get moderated (at least for the first post). In forums you are (typically) not moderated but instead you need to register first. Either way it amounts to the same intent: to get people to a limited degree "authenticated" before they can post willy nilly. Hi Richard.

I've been reading your site with interest and taking notes, so thanks for all the tips.One thing though: You reckon the request for people to log in 'stupid', but I guess you're restricting this to posting comments on blogs. Surely you don't also mean posting comments on forums.Cheers, Richard OK, so I’m a newbie to blogging Alister.

One thing though:
You reckon the request for people to log in ’stupid’, but I guess you’re restricting this to posting comments on blogs. Surely you don’t also mean posting comments on forums.
