JetPack Comments allows visitors making a comment on your site to use one of their social
networking accounts to post a comment instead of going through the hassle of creating an
entire new account to post a comment.
When JetPack comments is activated it replaces the theme comment form with one that allows
a visitor to sign-in from one of their other accounts.
Comments can still be turned off for each individual post and they're still controlled
by the global settings on the Discussion screen under the Settings admin menu. So if you have
comments turned off then the JetPack comments feature will not be available.
JetPack also adds settings options to the Discussion screen. You can change the greeting
text for the comment and you can change the color scheme of the comment box to match your
theme.
Comments can also be affected by how your theme handles comments. If JetPack Comments
is activated but is not working properly try switching to the default theme. If JetPack
comments works with the switch them you may have a theme that is not coded for the newer
version of WordPress comments. For that you'll need to contact the theme developer.
With comments activated, when a visitor clicks in the comment box this activates a drop-down
where they can choose to fill out their details or they can choose one of their social network
log-ins. Making it easy and convenient for visitors to become involved and interact with
your site.
