Adding Comments To Static HTML Pages
When creating mini-sites, most of the times your mini-site is just a static HTML web page (no fancy content management or dynamically update content). In some mini-sites, you may not be selling something at all.
You could be creating a landing page for affiliate programs, a special web page with video, a special ebook download page, etc…
In the past few days, I created a mini-site, with only a few pages. Each page has a video that I created with Camtasia. And I wanted to know what people think of the video. So I thought that I should add a commenting system to the pages.
When you run a blog, you have the commenting system built-in. But with a static page, how do you add a commenting system to it.
I needed that. So I search around looking for a commenting system.
And I found a great one by GentleSource.com

What I like about it is that it’s packed with features. You can set it up with Akismet (Wordpress’ anti-spam system), Captcha image, IP blocking, flood protection, Text Link Ads integration, word filter and many more.
One feature that I hope they add later is AJAX commenting. With AJAX, perhaps the page doesn’t have to load everytime you add a comment. AJAX commenting is something that you see at YouTube.com. You see that you can add a comment, but the video does not reload.
Perhaps I will do another post later explaining what AJAX is all about and how you can use them in your online marketing.
