I added two things on the comment form:

1. Live comment preview – shows immediate feedback on how your comment would look like after posting (which is why I took out the “preview” button)
2. Security captcha – anti-spambot mechanism. I know it’s not foolproof, but it does the job most of the time

Caveats

The live comment preview only recognizes limited html markup if ever you intend to style your entries. Upon posting however, it can actually translate even Markdown syntax. So if you’re a Markdown user, you can compose the same entry you saw in the image with the following code:

The really quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.

if you have the time, check this website out

With that code however, you’ll probably be seeing this in the live preview:

The *really* quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.if you have the time, [check this website out][1]
peace out

Don’t worry, your Markdown syntax will still be parsed upon posting – meaning Markdown will honor the whitespaces between lines as paragraph breaks, apply the italics for the * and convert your markdown anchors to proper <a> tags. I just put in the <div> tag for good measure – proving that you can compose a hybrid entry with mixed Markdown and html syntax.
