I agree with Chronicler, I missed the comments when I first started visiting this site because I simply didn’t read the tab. I assumed because I didn’t see the fields to enter my name or a list of avatars that perhaps comments weren’t enabled. But later, I read the tabs and found that I could make a comment by switching to that tab. Great article.

Paul – I like the new interface. User generated content is important though. I see the challenges. Maybe you can still get the best of both worlds. See rough thoughts attached.

Your prioritization of your call to action elements worked on me; I just shared this article ;)
Excellent as always.

Not sure I agree as many blogs have comments disabled entirely.

I think most people would expect to see a comment section in a blog and would be seriously thrown when one isn’t immediately obvious – it takes ‘effort’ to read the tabs after all and the comment tab is easily missed.

There’s two real items of interest here for me:

1) Taking control of the decision back from the UI – I agree that all too often we sit in the passenger seat while the UI decides where we’re going :)

2) The order of priority you decided on – share, related posts, comments. I was originally quite surprised at this, which prompted my question to you. I’m still wondering about the correct priority of these on a traditional “blog post” – my gut feeling is comments should be primary there – but on the podcast pages it’s clearly the right decision.

I love the clean, uncluttered feel of the new design and these tabs are a big contribution to that.

Paul, thanks for taking the time to record and write this up.
Alastair.
