A Blog Without Comments Is Like A Day Without Sunshine

I had been getting a bit depressed lately. No one has been commenting on my blog posts even though I get more than 500 visitors a week. I know that lots of people don't comment on blogs but nothing?

When I was poking around setting up www.imetwayne.com I realized that there was no "add comment" link at the end of the posts. I checked that comments were enabled. I was mystified. While I was poking around I logged out of the blog admin interface and was horrified to find that there was no "Leave a comment" link on my main blog here either. No wonder I haven't been getting any blog comments. Instead there was a stark "Comments are not allowed from anonymous visitors." at the end of each post. Ever since I installed the b2evolution Turing Test plugin to artfully quiz commenters to ensure they weren't bots I had enabled anonymous comments. I know that comments worked fine at least until the beginning of January 2010, because I had some.

After some Googling and poking around in the nooks and crannies of b2evolution I found that the "Allow anonymous comments" checkbox was not selected in the basic antispam plugin on the plugins tab of Global Settings. I can only surmise that somewhere along the line one of the upgrades I did to the b2evolution software turned that setting off. I've learned my lesson, I'll be checking the blog after upgrades when I am logged out of the admin interface.

Feel free to comment, now that you can.

Hi everyone, This site is excellent and so is how the subject matter was explained. I like some of the comments too although I would suggest everyone stays on the subject matter so that to add value to the message.
