Learning along the way...and asking for help!

I have walked across (or hurtled into) my first "New Bloggers Stumbling Block"

For some unknown reason, the weblink is not allowing people to post comments on any of my listings. Now this may be a good thing, as public abuse and mockery are considered good grounding for aspirational litrerary newbies, but on the same note, I would still quite enjoy the odd shared thought from a passer-by.

In any event, if anyone (more experienced than I) knows why it will not allow comments to be posted, please do share. It seems that when you click on the little button that says "Post Comment" exactly the opposite happens and the site seems to do as little as possible in mockery of your typing effort.

So I had a look and all my settings seem to be correct (anyone can comment, no log on credentials apply etc.) and the only way I managed to get it to work was to:

• Preview the comment first
• Then post from that page.

Is this normal? Does my site have a vendetta against commentary? Am I doomed to write a commentless blog?
Anyway, that's as far as my investigation got.............for now!

Happy Thursday!
