I am creating a blog for my site using Word Press. The only part of the site managed by word press will be the blog. So far I have created a basic theme which displays my blog posts however I don't have anything offering users the option to comment on my blog posts.
This is something I want to have implemented. I am against the idea of installing plug-ins but I am new to the Word Press platform so was wondering if someone could offer any suggestions in regards to how I would go about performing this within Word Press (preferably without a plug-in)
Thanks
in case you do want to use WordPress's built-in commenting system, you can enable that in the settings under discussion -- just need to click the box next to "Allow people to post comments on new articles" (along with whatever other settings you wish)
from SO comment thread... support for WP comments discussed in part 2 of tutorial: http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/wordpress/how-to-create-a-wordpress-theme-from-scratch-part-2/
