Comment Presentation

Tantek Çelik hits comment presentation on the mark with his entry about comment presentation vs. plumbing:

A comment is a comment is a comment. Why should it matter whether it was posted using a web form, sent via email, entered into a blog, or posted to Netnews? From a blog reader’s perspective, I’d just like to see a list of the comments, and not care (nor know) about how the comment got there. Presentation/interface should be designed to present the data (information), not the underlying plumbing.

That TrackBack pop-up window has been bothering me, and I’ve been wondering where to place the TrackBack comments that I occasionally receive. Now I know.

  1. Shelley Powers’s explanation might help.

  2. uh, would you let me know too? i’ve allready tryed quickly but it didn’t work.
