My favorite: “Socialize with others of similar interest. Mutual support is motivating.” Blogging removes the geographic constraint; that’s one reason I like it.

I really like this idea–anyone who needs to can build a custom database app. You don’t have to be a programmer to use it.

Even though it’s supported for WP 1.5, it seems to work with 2.0. Just stick it in your plugins directory and activate. The preview shows up automatically, below the comment entry.

i hope you have better luck than I did with the LiveCommentPreview (although, in your case it is probably less to do with luck!). It didn’t want to play nicely with my theme… so I’m on the hunt for either a new theme or a new comment preview solution (or both!)
Leisa, I got it to work on my local WordPress install but not this one. I think Akismet might replace the regular comment submittal and bypass it. I’m going to look into it today and see if I can get it working.
The problem was that the plugin assumes that your wordpress files are in the same place as your blog, and mine are not. I have all the wordpress files in a subdirectory called “wp” but my blog is at the root level of my web domain. The plugin calls get_settings(’siteurl’) instead of get_settings(’home’). Changing that makes the preview work for me. Now I need to style the preview nicely…
