bloggers forum douala feat

It was a beautiful experience on the 3rd of October 2015 at Star Land hotel in Douala, with over 150 bloggers, company executives and journalists.

how to display newer comments first

Last week, I came up with this post in which we discussed about the position of the comment form – Above or Below comments.

NB: I show you below exactly how to display newer comments first

I had interesting arguments from readers but a majority augured in favor of placing the form above comments. Whatever the result is, I recommend doing test on your blog in order to make an informed decision.

Today, I have another interesting argument and I’m so excited to hear your point.
