I'd like to be able to have visitors post comments on my site without having to necessarly put them 'under' a post. I've seen Zonkboard and thats kinda the idea I'm going after but I didnt know if there was anything else out there or a way to do it within MT.

Hmm.. I guess you could use Tagboard
Inside MT there really isn't a way, but a workaround would be to make a blank Post (just title) then allow people to comment on that post, sorta of like the guestbook workaround.

Thanks. I just looked at tagboard and its pretty much the same thing as Zonkboard. I had thought about the idea of a 'hidden' post to add comments too but that seems a little kludgy to me.

Now i just have to figure out where I wanna put the #### thing. smile.gif

Here's how I made a guestbook with MT.

Step five tells how I created a link to the guestbook popup from my blog page. So a user doesn't have to even see the guestbook to add a comment.

Very neat!
