I am doing a travel blog using the information learned in your session at the FMCA rally. (Having a great time doing it–thanks for the inspiration and getting me started!)
But, I have heard from several people that they have posted comments to my blog, but the comments don’t appear. Some individuals have not had a problem commenting… One person said she went through the verification process, but never knew whether her comment was accepted…apparently it was not.
I have checked the settings, and allow anyone to comment. I removed the verification process to see if that was causing issues. I have received a few “spam” comments, but got a call today from someone who thought she posted a comment, but it hasn’t shown up.
Any ideas on how to make it easier for individuals to comment on the blog?
Thanks.

Hmmmm …. do you possibly have comment moderation turned on? That means that comments will not be posted until after you approve them via email.
What is the blog address and I’ll try to comment.

I checked out your blog (quite nice! good job) and I was able to leave a comment no problem. It appears to me that you have it set to require that commenters to be a ‘Registered User’ – meaning they are logged in to their browser with some kind of identification. For example, I am always logged in to my Google Account. When I left a comment, it knew who I was because of that. If you want anyone to be able to comment, your options should look like the screenshot below. I know you said you checked ‘anyone’ but take another look to be sure. Let us know.

Thanks Chris. I got your comments. Checked settings and they seemed to be set as you suggested. I’m beginning to discover that the people that have had trouble commenting are those without gmail accounts. Also could be operator error! Thx for getting back on this.
