I can’t seem to get comments to work on my blog. I’m using the Twenty Ten theme in WordPress and then I created a child theme because I didn’t want to touch the files deep within WP.
So what I was going was inserting all of my styles, etc into the comments.php file within my child theme root directory.
The problem I’m experiencing is that when I fill out the form to comment on a post, it will submit, but then just scrolls back up to the top of the page…no awaiting comment moderation message at all. The URL seems to reflect the different number of comments because it changes number. But when I look inside my WordPress admin, there is no Comment awaiting moderation, either. So they just aren’t working at this point.

Here’s the code:
Can you please direct me as to what I’m missing in the code, or why it’s not submitting correctly?
