Most blogging platforms have a comment facility and there are third party systems that include additional features. They are so easy to include as part of your site
Yet Copyblogger turned off their comments some time ago. Seth Godin, one of the most prolific bloggers posting every day for many years has never had comments on his site.
If these 2 sources of some of the greatest thought leadership in their space don’t allow comments on their posts, should you?

- Do we even want people to comment at all?
