[Web4lib] Allowing comment editing on blogs

[D.H. Mattison]

Comment moderation as it's called is also a feature of WordPress. You can
set that as a default in WordPress as I imagine you can with Movable Type.
Comment spamming is a fact of life for bloggers. WordPress also has some
pretty good anti-comment spamming tools available.

We started using Movable Type 3.1 blogging software because one of their
features is the ability of a librarian to view a comment before it becomes
public.  Since we were starting a blog for teens, this was a big plus for
us.  The public comments don't show up until after we have thoroughly
looked through them.  Because we somehow got spammed by a porn site, this
proved to be a very good thing!
