Auto Fill for Blog Commenting

One thing I enjoy doing when I browse the web is commenting on blog posts. This is also a great way to build some buzz about your own site. Unfortunately, entering my name, url, and email address on every blog post is a huge waist of time.

I have found a Firefox extension called Autofill Forms. This extension has more features than I know what to do with! It is a great way to simplify things so you can save time when you comment on blogs.

When you install this firefox extension, a default profile will be created for you.  Typically, The fields used on most blogs are labeled Name, Email, and URL. Press Alt-J which is the Autofill Forms keyboard shortcut, it automatically fills in those fields with these configured values.

To add field rules to your profile, check out the How To Add A Specific Field Rule Form Fieldwiki page for detailed instructions. Once this plugin is configured, blog commenting is as simple as pressing Alt-J on the keyboard and then typing out my comment. The only issue I have with this tool is well really an issue I have have with blogspot, they want your password for some other site in order to post, it also does not work with Disqus or other third party commenting systems. This extension ends up saving a ton of time.
