I am no longer convinced that this is an accurate statement. [...]

Why I use Disqus as the comment system on my blog | disqus comments
Last week I wrote about the WordPress plugin CommentLuv. This is a great plugin, that gives the commentator 2 links back to their site. One link goes to the home page and another goes to a blog post.
