Commenting is Now Working Properly!
OK gang, I've finally gotten the commenting system to work properly. Yippee! I knew that MT-Blacklist 1.65 wasn't compatible with MT3.11, but somehow I didn't interpret that to mean "you must remove MT-Blacklist from your server." Duh.
So here's the deal: If you don't have a TypeKey identity, your comments will still require approval. You should see a message alluding to this when you post. If you *do* have a TypeKey identity, you'll still need to be approved the first time you comment. Once I've approved you as a commenter, your comments will post immediately, no approval necessary.
For obvious reasons, I highly encourage you to get a TypeKey identity. It's easy, it's free, and you only have to do it once—your identity will enable you to post on any weblog that uses TypeKey authentication, not just mine.
