New Feature: My Comments
One thing that became pretty apparent after we launched the Tag Surfer, people were going to start leaving a lot more comments on blogs they may not visit regularly and it’s a real pain to track followups to comments you’ve left on WordPress.com. (Or even remember what comments you left!)
Well we’ve got a little something new for you today. (Free!) In your Dashboard sub-menu you’ll see a new tab called My Comments.
When you click on this, it’ll show the comments you’ve made across WordPress.com, as well as the comment directly before yours and any replies to the post since yours. Posts with the latest replies are at top. If a comment thread gets really long we trim it and only show the latest stuff.
So check it out, and to celebrate why not find a blog or post with no comments (like on the tag surfer) and share your thoughts? It’ll make someone’s day and now you can easily follow the conversation from the comfort of your dashboard.

Another great solution to a sometimes crazy problem!
Aug 14th at 10:20 pm
This is a quite useful feature, especially for users who like to comment a lot.
Aug 14th at 10:40 pm
A feature that makes great sense.
Aug 14th at 10:40 pm
That sounds great – I have forgotten (sometimes) where I commented and this feature certainly helps! Thanks
Aug 14th at 10:41 pm
Cool. Kinda like CoComment just for WordPress.
You realise I’m just doing this to test how long it takes to work? Cheers
Aug 14th at 10:41 pm
Hi Matt,
WOW! Changes, changes everywhere and all of them good. I have a question: Is this new “My Comments” feature cumulative and archived so we can access it later? If so then we won’t have a need to continue to use cocomment for the comments we leave on fellow wordpressers blogs. Thanks for the innovation.
Aug 14th at 10:44 pm
Yes it’s archived forever.
Aug 14th at 10:46 pm
I noticed it before topic appears
NIIICEEEE one, I always wantid something like that…
Aug 14th at 10:48 pm
And it works almost straight away!
Aug 14th at 10:49 pm
Yes it should be instant, as soon as the comment is approved it’ll show up.
Aug 14th at 10:49 pm
You must have been reading my mind. This is great!
Aug 14th at 10:51 pm
Yeaah babe, shake it, shake it :dance:
I really like it
Can’t leave my eyes off :blush:
Aug 14th at 10:52 pm
amm… Thank You again, I allways lost my comments…
Aug 14th at 10:55 pm
Creating community and social networks a feature at a time, eh? This could be viral. lol
Aug 14th at 11:01 pm
Brilliant! Now this is what I call useful. I even used it before looking at my stats! Nice one.
Aug 14th at 11:03 pm
This sure saves me a whole lot of rss feed consumption
Aug 14th at 11:12 pm
Purty cool!
Aug 14th at 11:32 pm
This is another awesome feature. I tell ya…it just keeps getting better and better here a WP! Thanks a bunch!
Aug 14th at 11:36 pm
Great feature. Would it be possible to have a feature where threads could be marked as read and removed from the dashboard, though? For those who comment a lot I can see that things could get pretty clogged up the way things stand.
Aug 14th at 11:38 pm
Great feature. Any chance that we might be able to delete threads once we’ve read them, though?
Aug 14th at 11:39 pm
you guys never cease to amaze me… thanks for this great feature…
Aug 14th at 11:41 pm
cool very useful feature!
Aug 14th at 11:48 pm
Nicely done, another boost to stitching together a community.
Aug 14th at 11:59 pm
Great – this is really usefull, and additionally it removed my fear that now there will be no more free upgrades and that we might have to pay for anything.
Aug 15th at 12:07 am
Awesome feature.
Aug 15th at 12:11 am
Very cool. I’m seeing comments I completely forgot about
Aug 15th at 12:16 am
Does this feature also track trackbacks?
How hard would it be to track comments that haven’t been approved yet? I’d like to see my comment (or possibly trackback) show up in my tracker the moment I send it or just a few minutes later, depending on implementation.
But this is great, thanks!
Aug 15th at 12:17 am
This is great for the wordpress blogs but It would be cool if you include the CoComment plugin for people who use that as well.
Aug 15th at 12:27 am
cool!
Aug 15th at 12:30 am
Great job, love it very much… is this mean that comments can be read thru bloglines?
Aug 15th at 1:14 am
Brilliant.
Aug 15th at 2:07 am
Well done. This is an excellent feature that will definitely make it easier and encourage wordpress.com users to post to other blogs.
Aug 15th at 2:33 am
Thank you – really useful!
Aug 15th at 3:17 am
Very useful.
Only one problem. It seems to track comments made on one’s own blog. Perhaps, you guys could try to get around that.
Aug 15th at 4:34 am
Love you guys. Following your comments makes the blogging experince more fulfilling.
Aug 15th at 5:02 am
This is great! Thanks guys.
Aug 15th at 6:06 am
Great Work! My Comment Feature is very useful to track the comment we made. Thanks a lot. Keep going with more features!! Best of luck!! bye!

Thank you, useful feature.
Keep up the good work.
Aug 15th at 6:21 am
YOU READ MY FREEKING MIND.
Thank you, bless you!
Aug 15th at 7:49 am
Brilliant
Aug 15th at 8:46 am
Thank you so much guys! I was going crazy with comments
Aug 15th at 8:56 am
You make our life do easy
thanks…
Aug 15th at 9:33 am
Thanks WordPress, always coming out with new ideas
Aug 15th at 10:42 am
This is one of my favourite features so far
Aug 15th at 11:42 am
GREAT !!!
Aug 15th at 12:08 pm
Great…..!!!!!!
Aug 15th at 1:00 pm
a coComment for WordPress…you rock Matt..great feature!
Aug 15th at 1:17 pm
nice…
Aug 15th at 1:24 pm
Love how you guys are spoiling us with all these updates. Wonder if anyone will still doubt your commitment to improving WP.com in spite of the paid upgrades. Great job fellas!
Aug 15th at 3:36 pm
Yes, this is a very neat feature. It certainly helps people share views easily and communicate better. Thanks, J.
Aug 15th at 3:58 pm
Hooray for walled gardens!
Considering that WPMU keeps all it’s users’ data in separate tables, this is still quite an engineering feat! Bravo.
Aug 15th at 4:47 pm
That’s a pretty sweet idea.
Aug 15th at 6:00 pm
This is yet another very nice addition. Thanks Matt!
Aug 15th at 8:15 pm
dude. awesome.
Aug 15th at 10:43 pm
whooo!
Aug 15th at 10:47 pm
Great idea! Myself I was wondering how to get comments posted elsewhere.
Aug 15th at 11:44 pm
Great idea!
Aug 15th at 11:52 pm
Yees! I saw this last night! That’s so awesome- thank you, Again!
Aug 16th at 4:21 am
What I think would be great is to now have this feature in a widget. You could add a widget to your blog to show others the blogs you’ve commented on, which could get other people interested in those blogs too.
Aug 16th at 5:10 am
Nice!
thanks for yet another absolutely great feature.
Aug 16th at 2:38 pm
Matt, thank you. A cool, brilliant and absolutely helpful feature. Before now, I often completely lost track of sites on which I had commented. Love this.
Blessings to all of us here at WordPress…and beyond.

I love it. So what did I say the other day…oh. Yeah. Did I say that?
Such a shame one couldn’t do that for our brains. A replay button? Nah.
Aug 17th at 2:54 pm
Most excellent!
Aug 19th at 2:41 pm
Aug 30th at 5:41 am
Superb! (I wrote something else and then I read below that I aint supposed ter. So I deleted it.)
Sep 1st at 6:26 pm
Nice!
Sep 2nd at 9:42 am
yeah…..
Sep 7th at 4:36 pm
cool thanks!!
Sep 9th at 6:22 am
cool, checked out nice to see the community.
thanks for this…
Sep 9th at 5:13 pm
Nice.
Sep 12th at 3:35 pm
Great idea, already recieved responses to comments I had forgotten.
Sep 17th at 5:18 pm
I love this feature.
I would love it even more if I could get rid of threads that I don’t want to arhive.
Thank you!
Sep 21st at 12:20 am
This is a very useful feature…thanks!
Sep 23rd at 2:56 am
Cool features
>>only show the latest stuff.
It would be great if we have a way to go not latest stuff too..
Oct 8th at 6:57 pm
It’s pretty useful, but how can we get rid of the old comments we posted ? I mean when we don’t need them anymore ?
Oct 9th at 10:39 pm
Thanks
Oct 17th at 10:11 pm
Great thanks.
Oct 20th at 10:55 pm
Yeah.. the comments arent getting tracked. Also, I am getting the comments written at my own blog space also listed, which I think is redundant
Oct 24th at 3:21 am
well, the problem of one’s own comments seems to be resolved, becasue I am not getting my own comments (from my own blog)…
also, I am not having to scroll through weeks and weeks of comments, which is nice…
thanks guys! I continue ot be amazed at all you do (and still free fo most of us!)
Oct 28th at 1:33 pm
the best and most beautiful things in the world can not be seen or even touched they must be felt within the heart… l.o.v.e
Oct 28th at 10:24 pm
I recently switched to WordPress.com from another blog (which shall remain nameless)! I am truly impressed with all the wonderful features that are available and the ease with which we can communicate to make our blog look terrific. Keep up the grrreat work you are doing.
Nov 3rd at 7:34 am
Thanks wordpress, I really enjoy beeing part of this community.
In this new layout, I can’t find how I can edit my own comments.It was a useful feature as I could have corrected a typing mistake or add a link.
Is there still a way to do that?
Thank you again
Nov 5th at 9:00 am
Nice one!
Nov 9th at 5:29 am
This is my first day blogging!! So I will do my best! Thank you!
Nov 10th at 9:35 pm
Ah Ha!
Nov 15th at 4:34 am
Really feeling this feature.
Nov 17th at 2:39 am
Hi, I’m very new to WP. This feature ~~rocks~~
Nov 17th at 5:14 am
Love it!
Nov 21st at 10:15 pm
I love it too! I am so new at this I only found it by accident and I think it’s great! Thanks!
Nov 28th at 10:36 pm
I’ve been hoping for a feature like this. You guys are Pure Gold! ThankYouVeryMuch!
Dec 12th at 1:41 pm
An idea crafted with the greatest imaginativeness!
Dec 13th at 6:23 am
Why not also integrate CoComment.com in wordpress.com!
You can ofcourse install the Firefox plugin available from them, but having it in blog engine would be nice.
Dec 22nd at 11:32 pm
It’s great!
Dec 26th at 10:04 pm
I am indeed highly impressed with what i have seen at word press, I am into bloggingsince last August 2005, and blogs have become a vital part of my life in sharing a pictorial world that is human, the under belly of mans existence , pedestrian survival, and the world of ritualism, sufism , tansgenders hijdas, moharam, naga sahus, Ihave captured and without any reservation tried to link my unique overcovertly colored world with other bloggers..and the quest like the holy grail never ends…I have seen the sycophancy of cybernetic curiosity ,having srtetched this fabric of blog adventurism, in a short time, I am indeed prophecisizing that word press will in no short time become a powerful medium touching a lot of human life and human changes.. and this is my experience and inner gut feeling of 15 days since I signed up here.Yes I am impressed..and I write this at 3.30 am mumbai time .
