I should have switched a long time ago; but Dreamhost finally added the last
little bit that got me moving–not only did they install WordPress for me at the push of a button, but they’ll upgrade it when necessary the same way. After that, there was no reason to wait.
Don’t know about the preview plugin, but I’m sure there are at least two or three. For the coding, that’s controllable but not obvious. If you get the Comment Quicktags plugin, it’ll show the reader what’s allowed and save him typing. 🙂
Ian, I’m using WP 2.0; most of the plugins I see are labeled as being for WP 1.5 or WP 1.2. Are WP plugins generally forward compatible, in your experience?
The major change in coding that fouls up plugins has to do with user levels. If a plugin doesn’t deal with those at all, it’s generally fine. (Spam Karma 2 had a different issue, but it was updated within a day or two of 2.0’s release.)
Then again, I do my best to keep plugins to a minimum, for simplicity’s sake. 😀
This comment is just to point out that you can leave comments. 🙂

I’m glad comments are available again–there have been posts I wanted to comment on and now I can! 🙂

Does WordPress have a way to preview comments? Also what, if any, HTML tags can commenters use?

WordPress doesn’t appear to have a way to preview comments out of the box; I gather that there might be a plug-in that allows it.
It allows some HTML, including links; evidently there’s no way to find out for sure without trawling through the PHP code.
