In my last post I talked about some cool new features which I was working on. Well, they're here.
All comments and trackbacks can be moderated from a central location (so you don't need to follow every post in order to moderate every comment).
It is possible for commenters to register accounts, and such accounts can be optional or required for commenting on posts.
There is an option to require comment accounts to be approved by you before they can post.
If you allow guest comments, guests cannot use the display name of someone with a registered account, so if you get a flood of foreign commenters (because, for example, some popular blog linked to you), the invaders can't pretend to be any of your regular readers.
Also, I re-implemented the back-end storage for posts to use the same postgreSQL database that comments and trackbacks are using, for improved speed, flexibility, and scalability. It should now handle tens of thousands of posts as lightning-fast as it handles ten.
