I find that the options to use blockquote and a tags give me more than enough markup options. A preview button might be nice to make sure mark-up tags have been closed properly. Also, have you considered threaded/nested replies (e.g., as used on <a href="http://agonist.org" rel="nofollow">the Agonist</a>)? I'm seeing comments handled this way on enough of the high-traffic political blogs that I expect we'll see it as an option offered by standard blog software soon. (Soon = 6-12 mo?) Threaded comments make it much easier for readers to follow different threads in an active discussion around a blog post, and much easier to writers to indicate they are writing a comment in reply to a specific, previous comment. (I'm a regular reader who mostly lurks here -- and I enjoy your site greatly. Thank you.)

I had a problem with my first post here because I didn't realize that certain characters and formatting would be stripped out. (I was putting in a bit of sample code that it didn't like).

I can give you some simple javascript code to do so, hit me up with an email if you want it check spelling is always nice =)
