Hello Madhav. I'm using Disqus on my blog. A friend told me that Intensedebate has the Commentluv feature. Is that true? If that's the case, I really wish I had it installed instead of Disqus. Too bad I was informed a little bit too late. lol

I have already installed commentLuv, so I can not say that comentLuv function is by commentLuv or by intensedebate but most probably it should be by intensedebate. I can test it by deactivating commentLuv.

The alternative is to manually download them from the WordPress plugin site and then use an FTP program to upload them.

Better comments manager is a plugin which allows you to reply to comment from within the admin panel. It uses Ajax to respond to comments so you do not have to leave the comments page while commenting.

The best way to change the look of your Wordpress blog is to get a custom theme. You can hire a theme designer to make one for you. I also have a few wordpress blogs and all of them have custom themes.
