Adding Comment Web Part
I wish to allow the site user to add a comment and see other user's comments on specific document types. What would be the best approach for this?

I believe there is Blogging capabilities but not sure how to go about this problem.

Thanks

RE:Adding Comment Web Part
Hello,

Your description fits that of the Message Board web part. While you cannot place this web part for a specific document type directly, you can place it into any page template and use this template for any documents, including your custom document type.

You can find an example of this web part on our sample Corporate Site -> Examples -> Message Boards

RE:Adding Comment Web Part
The message board seems more like sending messages to site owners. What I want is essentially comments to be placed on pages, like blog posts.

RE:Adding Comment Web Part
Hello,

The message board web part will show the comments directly on the page, unless Moderated has been set in the web part properties, in which case the document owner has to approve the post first.

If you would like more structured comments, you can use the ad-hoc forums instead.
