For anyone interested, the fault was in the “Comments” theme file. The code below shows what was required for my blog to work (remember it is installed in a subfolder of my public_html folder). The old code was pointing elsewhere!
<form action=”http://www.stephenp.net/weblog/wp-comments-post.php” method=”post” id=”commentform”>
Hi and thanks,

I set up my main domain to use a subfolder. From my host:
“The main domain on the hosting account uses the public_html folder for all of its Web site files. Any addon domains use subfolders inside the public_html folder. In order to also set up your main domain to use a subfolder on your hosting account you will need to set up a redirect in the .htaccess file in the public_html folder so that the server knows that any request for your main domain will be redirected to a subfolder on public_html.
Visitors to your Web site will not be able to tell that your main domain is using a subfolder, they will still see the Web site address as http://www.yourdomain.com/page.html”
