Some features that might be worth to consider:
- ability to enable / disable comments -per post- to complement the more general $config_allowComments option. (requiring an extra field on the db to store poster preference)
- an option for the blog owner to prioritize posts that displays always on top (i.e. for general announcements)
- an option for the blog owner to edit / delete comments using his own pass as a master password
- as visitors post comments with their names, it might be nice to allow them to keep their nicks unique (searching the name field at the users db on submit, and require a new name if in use)
- enable collaborators to assist blog ownwer in content generation and site maintenance. This requires a list of special users allowed to post entries (the easiest way might be to create an array of passwords at config.php enabled to publish)
