To be honest, I am very surprised that threaded (or nested) comments don’t come out-of-the-box with a fresh WordPress installation. It’s not that I’m knocking WordPress. It’s great, but if every blogger would want this feature shouldn’t it be rolled into the product? Okay. Free is free. I’m done looking a gift horse in the mouth…

Though I don’t know a lick of PHP, I have found the WordPress code base is easy to manipulate so I added threaded comment support to the site last night. The functionality is heavily-based on Brian Meidell’s Nested Comments Plugin. He did a really nice job, but I made a handful of tweaks to address a few site/browser style sheet issues and I modified the verbiage slightly.

I’m happy with the implementation. How about you?
