Moderation of commentsThe blog element allows your site visitors to interact with your site by leaving comments on your blog posts. Feedback is great, but if it's not controlled, you can end up with unwanted information on your site. That's why the blog element lets you control commenting at the blog or the post level. You can 1) allow comments from everyone 2) moderate and approve comments before they go live, or 3) turn comments off completely. Plus, to prevent spam, the blog element automatically requires character verification for all comments. |

Water Features Q & A
Other website builders seem to have a huge list of features. Why?
Most feature listings are fluff. Water can do most if not more than most systems on the market. However, we intentionally designed Water to do less. Why? Because our goal is not to do the most - our goal is to be the best. Instead of spending our time putting features into Water that only a select few would use, we spend our time refining the features that most businesses and organizations actually need.
What are the system requirements to use Water’s top tier website builder tools?
Because Water is an online application, there’s nothing to install. All you need is an internet connection and a modern web browser. We officially support IE 6 or later on the PC, and Firefox on Mac, PC, or Linux. We do not support older versions than the ones listed above. If you have IE 5.x, we recommend upgrading to IE6 or Firefox – both are compatible and free.
Can I run Water’s content management system on my own servers?
No. Water is only available as a web-based, hosted application.
