I’ve a friend, actually a group of friends, who took over a WordPress blog that had been run for years by another friend who passed away nearly a year ago. While he was ill, he made three contributors editors and he prepaid Blue Host for five additional years. So, they’ve been maintaining the blog, posting to it regularly in the same fashion as our friend had. They used a commenting system that didn’t need moderation on each post, Ark Comment Editor, which has been discontinued so they’re looking for a replacement system that does not require every comment to be approved by an administrator as none of them have the time to run it full time as our friend did.
So, they need a replacement system, preferably free, that would do what Ark Comment Editor did, they’ve considered several including Disqus, but haven’t found one that is quite what the old one was nor that allows images to be posted – many of the regular readers will include a political cartoon in their comment. They’re doing this both in memorium and for free, their time and attention, so keeping things as automated as possible but not at cost is important – to them and the blog’s readership, like I said it’s been around a couple decades, would hate to see it disappear. Thanks for any insight/ideas. :^) gene
