Unless I'm missing something, all I found was the star or thumbs up/down options.

To be honest, I'm not a fan of that for comments. Why should a thumbs down or one star even be an option for someone who left a comment? Why should I subject my commentators to that kind of scrutiny? It's overly qualitative versus singularly affirming and appreciative such as a "Like" or Thank You button.

Definitely not a fan...

If you don't have that enabled you can do so from your blog's dashboard. Ratings go one up from Facebook's Like, it even comes with Dislike (thumbs down).

A cool conversation developed regarding a blogger's response to multiple comments toward one post/page. In essence, it's awkward and space inefficient to reply to ever comment, especially basic complimentary comments. However, it's proper etiquette to acknowledge them and demonstrate appreciation.

So the thought of a "Like/Thank You" button for comments came up. I'm sure it's been considered by WP staff and maybe in the works, so I simply wanted to say it's a great idea :)

Thank you again for all your hard work and commitment toward making WP THE place to blog - I LOVE it!!!

Christopher
