Part of my blogging activities include blog hopping and leaving comments on my favorite blogs, daily reads and other blogs I visit. This doesn’t only help in promoting my blog but it also helps me create and maintain relationships with other bloggers. One of the things I don’t like about this specific activity is filling out the comment form with my personal data – name, email address and website url because its time consuming. Certain websites or blogs remember those fields and some don’t. And if you’ve recently cleared your browser’s cache, you’ll have to type in those fields all over again for each blog.

Tired of having to retype the same stuff everytime you want to leave a comment on a blog? Wouldn’t it be nice if you don’t have to do the process over and over again and do it with just a single click? Well that’s now possible thanks to the easyComment Firefox extension created by Benjamin Flesch.

easyComment enables you to One-Click Comment on WordPress Blogs which makes it an perfect tool for people who comment on a lot of different Weblogs and who don’t want to sign up on every single one.

To be able to use easyComment, first you’ll need the Mozilla Firefox browser. If you already have Firefox or you’re done installing it, the next thing to do is install the easyComment Firefox plugin/addon. You can get it from Mozilla’s Addon directory (requires logging in because this is an experimental addon) or straight from the plugin author’s website.

Once you’ve installed the easyComment addon, you’ll have to restart Firefox and after Firefox reloads, you’ll see easyComment at the statusbar just like the one below:

Before you can start using easyComment, you’ll have to configure it and provide your personal data. You can do that by right clicking on the easyComment on the statusbar and click on Preferences. Fill in the required fields on the Preferences Dialog like, here’s an example of my easyComment settings.

When you’re done, just click on Save.

Here’s how it works. When you want to leave a comment on a certain blog, just click on easyComment on your statusbar and it will automatically fill out the required fields with the data you provided on the easyComment Preferences. Here’s an example using my comment form.

After using easyComment

Now all you have to do is type in the message that you want to leave. Btw, you can also specify a message on easyComment’s Preferences.

If the website or blog doesn’t have a comment form you’ll see a message that says “No Comment Form found!” at the statusbar like this:

easyComment is very easy to use, install and configure. It was designed for commenting on WordPress blogs but I’ve tried it out and it works on almost any website or blog that has a comment form. Unfortunately it doesn’t work for all websites and blogs especially those that require users to be logged in or have a different comment system like blogs hosted by Blogger (blogspot).

If you’ve already installed easyComment, you can try it out by leaving a comment here and sharing what you think about easyComment. You might also wanna share other websites or blogs that works or doesn’t work with easyComment.

Thanks for your time and have a nice day!
