 * No one can post a comment to a blog entry today. We have tried several times 
   with different posts. Any idea what is happening?

 * Hello lindahomer, it says you must be logged in to post a comment. Is that how
   you have set it up ?
 * Kind regards

 * I believe it is set up that way. I was logged in though. I will double check.
   Had another admin member check and she couldn’t post a comment either.

 * Thank you! I unclicked “must be registered and logged in” and it allowed me to
   post. As owner of the blog, am I not registered? I always log in.
 * What is the difference between being registered and logged in?

 * If Users must be registered and logged in to comment, this provides control over
   the comments and security. Very little spam will come through because all the
   users when registering would be approved by the administrator.

 * Thank you! So if someone new makes a comment or posts it will go into the moderation
   que for approval, right? I don’t want to stop a new visitor from posting 🙂
 * I am trying to get more info on this from the support site. Hopefully I will 
   get it all figured out. Thanks so much for your kindness 🙂

 * What I normally do is check the following
 * Anyone posts a comment
    A comment is held for moderation
 * This will allow anyone to post a comment the comment will be held for moderation
   first. At the same time it can produce a lot of traffic which is great for SEO
   and page ranking.
 * However be aware that a lot of spam will also come through…..so you will have
   to have good spam plugins installed 🙂
 * Kind regards
