 * Lifeasks,
    You are a life saver! Seriously, that worked. Initially it was only
   the first post that had comments turned on, but after looking though various 
   menu options in the dashboard I found out that I had comment set to be turned
   off after 30 days. With that being gone, I’m now in business! Thank you so much
   for figuring this out and sharing. I posted a quick comment on your blog, so 
   see if that works. Great poems! Have a wonderful weekend!

 * I don’t think it ever worked for me. Did you post work before you upgraded? I
   read a couple of other comments about people having issues with the reinstall
   after removing the first install which worries me a little. I only have a few
   posts on my blog, so it would be that big a deal to repost those, but I’m not
   a programmer, so the chance of getting myself into more trouple if i uninstall
   has me hesitating. Please let me know if you get any good recommendations and
   I will do the same.

 * Hi all,
    I was never able to get the above figured out and I’m almost at a point
   where I’m getting ready to scrap the blog and start all over. Is that the only
   way to fix this or does anyone know of other ways to resolve wordpress problems?
   Any help is greatly appreciated on this.

 * That’s set to “Allow people to post comments on new articles” as well, so that’s
   not it. Thank you for the suggestion.

 * Thank you for the suggestion. That made the “allow comments” checkbox appear,
   but it was already checked and it still says “Comments Off” in all the posts.
   Any other ideas of what might be causing this. I even tried to use the new theme
   as recommended in other posts, but it shows the same way there. Thanks again.
