A commenter&#8217;s experience decreases if they have to wait for their comment to be approved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You want to respond quickly to a comment that has made it through the spam filters, yet is such that it needs to be addressed. Perhaps it is some sort of negative comment or is potentially abusive to you or to your community. Being notified is important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, fill in a brief description of who you are. This is used by search engines and is partially how you build your authority in what you are posting &#8211; so make it simple but significant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"447\" data-attachment-id=\"43\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blogs.oregonstate.edu\/calverta\/set-profile-info-in-oregon-state-wordpress-blogs\/wordpress-profile-setting-04\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/1105\/files\/2013\/04\/wordpress-profile-setting-04.png?fit=718%2C553&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"718,553\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"wordpress profile setting 04\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/1105\/files\/2013\/04\/wordpress-profile-setting-04.png?fit=580%2C447&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.oregonstate.edu\/calverta\/files\/2013\/04\/wordpress-profile-setting-04.png?resize=580%2C447\" alt=\"fill in your email and description\" class=\"wp-image-43\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/1105\/files\/2013\/04\/wordpress-profile-setting-04.png?w=718&amp;ssl=1 718w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/1105\/files\/2013\/04\/wordpress-profile-setting-04.png?resize=300%2C231&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3 &#8211; select how your name will be publicly displayed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pretty straight forward.
