 * I meant IP. Doh! Sorry.
 * So far I’ve tried to edit the .htaccess file. No go. Notta.
 * And someone somewhere said that you can go to the dashboard under Options|Discussion.
   Nothing there.
 * I don’t just want to block comments. I want to block IP. I need to. Soon.
 * HELP!

 * I’m able to block IP’s from my Control Panel (cPanel). It’s under a “Security”
   tab.

 * A search here will turn up quite a few posts about using .htaccess to block IPs.
 * Or you could visit Options -> Discussion and scroll down to the bottom of the
   page and check out that “Blacklist” field and the accompanying directions.

 * “A search here will turn up quite a few posts about using .htaccess to block 
   IPs.”
 * Did that. Tried about 3 different ways. None worked.
 * “Or you could visit Options -> Discussion and scroll down to the bottom of the
   page and check out that “Blacklist” field and the accompanying directions. “
 * That only blocks comments. I need the whole IP OUT of my blog.
