I don't use Squidoo but very recently I learnt that Squidoo has been banned/blocked by Digg. Is that true?

The jury is still out. Comments have dropped dramatically since I switched over, but I think that is due to the holidays (hopefully not bad posts).

I like the ID user page better because it allows you to add your social network links. The widgets are okay, but you have very limited options to customize them.

If I had your CSS skills I would do a custom CSS for the comment section, but I don't so I am stuck with the standard interface which is not a aesthetically pleasing as the DISQUS comment area.

I am going to run it until mid January and re-evaluate it then.

I was considering IntenseDebate – I noticed you're now using it Brad – how do you like it? I love that commentluv is integrated!

Funny you mention Disqus Will. I've been considering dropping it for the same reasons Danny listed in that post – reactions don't seem to always work. Also, I don't like the automatic no-follow Disqus forces on commentors. I also really like commentluv and want to implement it here. You might see me saying goodbye to Disqus early next year.

I recently created a lens purely for the backlink and free advertising of my blog. Otherwise, you can use Squidoo as your main source of income if you choose not to host your own website.

The first signs are very positive Brad – and I will try to remember to let you know more about how it's going in a week or so ( please remind me if I forget)

Paula,

Are you using these for your product sites, or just other Wordpress themes? I have unlimited sites, space, etc. with my host provider so just wondering if I should look into these or just launch another site. What do you think?

Hey Will! you are only allowed to use that many P.S. on my site. ;) How are you liking CommentLuv? I'd love to know your thoughts about it too Keller. With the recent DISQUS issues I'm thinking about switching too.
