On IntenseDebate and so is this blog!
After seeing Mike Downey’s blog with IntenseDebate installed and also using it, I thought I’d sign up. So…I did.

Nothing special here but we’ll see how well it works and helps this blog with comments, etc.

I am using intense debate and it does not increase load time of my blog..
Intense debate script loads last on my blog so it appears only after all the necessary content of my blog is loaded..
it really cool…

It has reduced my spam, increased my blogs conversation effectiveness (ie – working email responses, etc), and provided an easy way of approving comments (via email).
Very much so worth it.
