Comments problem (Note: Use this as Weds. open thread)

Hi all – I’ve been made aware of a problem with the comments that is preventing people from being able to comment right now. I’m working to get this problem fixed ASAP (emailed my webhost service). This is what I get for trying to install comment spam plugins myself!

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Update I: I think I figured out the problem – comments should be running again. If you have any problems trying to post one, please email me using the link on the upper right hand side of this page. Thanks 🙂

Update II: Please use this as today’s open thread.

Update III: If you should get any type of notification that your message was considered a ‘spam’ message – don’t worry, I should be able to recover it. I’m trying to utilize a spam killer to cut down on the amount of spam I have to sift through and there may be a few bugs to work out yet …
