Thanks for this web site. I’m a total fan of food and the culinary arts and save nearly all of the information I can find around the subject. This web page kicks A$$

Ajax is good because you can hide some elements of your web page. The Google Bot is not able to see all these elements and the website can be more related to the subject.

On my real estate website, there isn’t anywhere to use ajax, but maybe in the future if I get a blog the comments would be a inviting feature for users. Thanks!

Dominik – That’s quite an undertaking. I hope you pull it off well. :)

Chris – That was one of the ones I mentioned enyoying as well (I called it “Comment previews.”). Glad we’re agreed!

Kristarella – Agreed. I love the circle loaders for some reason. I’m not quite sure what it is about them, but they’re a really nice animation. :) (And you could be right about the extra navigation. We had a recent posts list originally, but replaced it with popular content. Will have to think about it!)

Sarah – It is very handy! I know that I’ve had to edit a couple of my own comments here on PBD, and I’m just as likely to make mistakes elsewhere. Edit comments is a great thing for readers.

I use the Edit comments and comment preview. The edit comments is so handy. Few people actually use them however I use them a great deal. So much easier if I need to update a comment (usually my own!) than logging into the back end and finding it in there! Or quickly correcting people’s spelling mistakes.

I would love to have AJAX comments – I’ve noticed recently that everytime I leave a comment (on other blogs) the page reloads and it takes longer than I want to wait for it… it’s nice when a little circle whizzes around (background image thing) and voila, comment is there.

p.s. I was just thinking that a little bit more navigation wouldn’t go astray here. I know you want to keep things to a minimum and not have superfluous stuff on the page, but either a recent posts list or a next/previous post link might be nice. Just so one doesn’t have to go back to the homepage to get somewhere other than the most popular posts.

The best use for AJAX on blogs is the “look at your comment as you type it” thing a lot of blogs have. That’s pretty boss.

I’d love to use ajax on my blog, however, I am a complete javascript noob. Nevertheless, I am now trying to create my whole weblog archive in ajax, as part of my webpage redesign.
Previously I used a nifty plugin for expression engine to update comments using ajax. Not that I get that many comments, yet, but it sure helps to brush up the overall appearance of your site, or if somebody posted a ‘halfway’ suitable comment. And it is a lot quicker than using the expression engine interface…
