After writing yesterday’s post about comment zone design, I felt that I hadn’t really offered enough inspiration into the field. 15 sites just isn’t enough to get a grasp on the endless possibilities that lay out there when it comes to comment zone design. That’s why today I want to showcase 15 more creative and original comment zones.

There have been a few articles in the past couple of weeks that have gotten me to focus on comment form design - most specifically the one from Kreativ Use. However, while the form design can be appealing, and sometimes entertaining, the actual comments themselves should be the larger focus. After all, you want your readers to feel comfortable engaging in a discussion on your blog - from typography, to element placement (name, date, etc.) all the way down to color and organization, comment zones are extremely important to a web design.

In case you haven’t heard the buzz already, Daily Blog Tips just kicked off their Blogging Idol competition - and guess what? I’m in it!

Hosted by Daniel Scocco, Blogging Idol is a contest in which over 90 contestants are fighting to gain the most RSS subscribers in 30 days. At the end of July, the winner will take home over $3,000 in prizes. If you are interested in learning more about Blogging Idol, check out this post.

I’ve been extremely busy in the last few weeks with designing, maintaining client work, being gone in Europe and California on business, and finishing Platinum and my redesign. With all this time away, I feel like I’ve lost connection with a lot of my old friends on the web. While I am working right now to catch up with all of my networks and social media pals, I am also working on branching out to new and more creative places to find people like myself who I can connect with.

Over the last month or so I’ve been running into one problem with WordPress. Unable to sort it out myself, I’m turning to you, my loyal followers, to help me out.
