Ok, there are several plugins available for comment preview in Wordpress.
Three got mentioned more often than others. All three are easy to install, it says: download files, upload plugin, activate in dashboard, bingo!

The one I’d have liked to have the most may not function automatically if you do not use the default template (Yay, I use default! ) or edited the default template (I edited it cos the default colours sucked! ).
Ok, no worries, the plugin author explains what to do to make it work. Er. Maybe it’s just me, but the way he omits what he apparently considers obvious, I think he might have saved himself the effort of writing anything at all because his help seems to be based on the maxim: “Aw, you already know what to do anyway, right?”.
I think I did what he said, but comment preview refused to appear.
On the other hand, I don’t seem to be the only person who doesn’t get it to work, so maybe the plugin sucks and not the code editing attempt?

Ok, second choice. Hm, didn’t appear either. And no explanation what to do if that happens, cos you just download, upload, activate and use. Er. No?

That left me with plugin number 3.
I downloaded, uploaded, activated…. and voilà: comment preview.

Hope you’ll all have fun with it, and not just Lynnette.
