Many thanks to Frank Patrick who reported a problem with the comments feature of this weblog. I entered a test and got an error message and lost the comment, just as Frank reported.

The error message makes me think there is some relationship to my comment-spam protection. I’m awaiting a response to see if that is indeed the case. I’ll enter an update when I uncover the cause and have the problem resolved. Clearly, one way to fight comment spam is to simply delete all comments before they are posted!

Not my intent!

* * * UPDATE * * * Comments are fixed! I had improperly updated my installation of MT-Blacklist by copying only three files. Somewhere along the way, I failed to read a readme.txt file and missed the fact that there are a couple of more files that needed to be copied up to my server for a proper update. Please let me know if you get anything other than stellar results when commenting here!

Oh, and thanks to the estimable Jay Allen for the prompt response to my inquiry which boiled down to, ”why?” He knew and pinpointed what I had failed to do instantly!
