Quicktip: Auto-Complete Blog Comment Fields

January 2009

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.

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 ;)
