Description

There is a need for a commenting system that will allow users to interact with the blog posts. This will increase user engagement and provide feedback to the blog authors.

Goals

• [ ] Add a comment section to each blog post
• [ ] Implement a moderation system for comments
• [ ] Ensure comments are tied to a registered user
• [ ] Implement spam and bot protection for the comments
• [ ] Add notification system for new comments

Expected Outcome

• Users must be registered and logged in to leave a comment.
• Each comment should include the user's name, profile picture (if available), comment text, and timestamp.
• Comments should be displayed in chronological order, with the most recent comment at the top.
• An email notification should be sent to the blog post author when a new comment is made.
• Blog post authors and administrators should be able to moderate comments (approve, deny, delete).

Acceptance Criteria

• [ ] A registered user can submit a comment on a blog post.
• [ ] The comment appears on the blog post after approval from the post author or administrator.
• [ ] An email notification is sent to the blog post author when a new comment is posted.
