You like to comment on blog posts but you’re sick of having to enter the usual name, mail and website fields (even with autofill it still requires effort).
If you’re using Firefox there’s a handy solution. EasyComment is a plugin that stores this default information for you. Then, when you’re on a blog post and you want to leave a comment, click the easyComment button and it will fill in all the fields. You can even enter a default message like ‘Nice post, thanks’ if that’s all you want to say.
Click here to get easyComment.
The easyComment button is located at the bottom of your browser window.
Without easyComment, it takes approximately 10 seconds to fill in your name, email and url. Assuming you leave 1 comment per day, that’s 70 seconds per week or 310 seconds per month or 3,650 seconds per year you’ll save. That’s an extra hour you could be playing Halo or World of Warcraft ;)

I’ve been using sxxipper for a while now, its my favourite plugin. It does something similar except its for any forms. It’s a lifesaver if several people (i.e. me and the missus) use the same machine for various accounts, gmail, twitter etc. I’ll give this one a go too.
Rob says:
I feel sort of dumb. I never thought of looking for a firefox extension to auto-fill all these inputs!
Danny Turley says:
Thanks Lee, just installed the plugin, makes commenting less of a task! :-)
Lee says:

@John: sxipper looks interesting, a lot more options available

Quick Auto complete field in Blog Comment is good and also time saving. But, it is not so good.
