The blog is almost finished, though I have to tweek some items and settings. I’ve set the comments function up to allow anonymous comments, but I can ban IPs as well and I have some other options. Please be respectful. I am now eliminating all posts which consist of cheap personal insults. I’ll know it when I see it. Best way to avoid censorship is to stay on topic and not resort to name-calling. It’s not that difficult.
I would ask those of you who are posting anonymously to at least come up with some sort of name to go by. It’s not important that we know who you are in real life, but it makes discussion easier to hold discussions if there is a way to distinguish between anonymous posters.

Hmmm,posted a comment under the Obama speech post and it says it’s awaiting moderation.I posted a comment under your election results post after and it is not,wonder why.Maybe it has to do with the lengths of the comments or something.And finally,my eyes are adjusting to the new blog here.

Mark – for some reason everybody’s first comment has to be moderated.
Rose – yeah, I don’t know what to do about that. I haven’t seen it on the other blogs.

I hope you keep this theme. (or at least do not change because I use it too).
I hate to be a broken record, but what about Avatars?

Eric, it’s the layout I think. If you change the comments somehow to take up only one column… What’s bringing them down here is the long list of blogs and such. Boy, your blog is doing the same thing lately.

Eric, you can choose not to have everybody’s first comment moderated (though I recommend it.) Go to your Dashboard. On the right hand side click “Settings”. Scroll down to “Before a Comment Appears” and deselect “Comment author must have a previously approved comment.”

Eric, I used to have this problem of my comments appearing waaaay down and I went to support and they helped me fix it. I’ve been trying to reconstruct the solution and my brain isn’t working (blame the turkey or the fact I had one of my few glasses of liquor a year yesterday.) Try going to support and stating your problem. Someone should be able to help you.

Great, another ex-liberal Obama-worshipping control freak. Hope you enjoy the Pakistan invasion you censorious coward.

Pakistan invasion? I don’t think the Pakistani government is responsible for the attacks in India. Is that what you’re talking about?

I heard that. I wanted to confirm before posting anything. I’ll put something together.
