Thank you for taking the time to respond. You got me thinking. Now I am wondering if the best solution would maybe be to offer both… a comment like solution for a post and then a start a new topic feature underneath. It would work almost like Suggested Topics.
Here is my initial concept:
I’m thinking something along the lines of a business directory. So let’s say a blog post is really a detailed profile for a painter.. their specialties, pricing, area of service. A classic comment section would just get too busy and unorganized. Instead I want people to start a new topic “Can you do Venetian Plaster finishes?” … another topic “Do you do touch up work?” another topic… “John made our home beatiful.. check out our after pictures.”
Let me know your thoughts. Thanks!
