It looks like a tweak I made a month ago resulted in a broken comment form. Whoops! If I had been logging into the spam-drop email address I use for this domain, I would have been alerted to the problem. I have been getting a small but growing amount of visits to this site. I wondered why there were no comments–now I know. 
Apologies for those who have been trying to chime in.
I also did a ‘lazy’ upgrade to WordPress 2.2–I notice a couple of blemishes from this upgrade but I’ll keep an eye on what else might break. For those who use the Freshy theme version 2.1–there is a hardcoded “2.1″ that you might miss in the sidebar PHP. You can temporarily fix that by changing it to “2.2″ if you’re running 2.2.
Hey Brian, So far no problems. Couple of things though:
“Spam protection: Sum of five + seven ?”
Are you looking for a text string or numeric value? Seems silly I know and I will certainly know after I leave this comment… just one of those little things.
Next up, email notification of comment replies , this is an absolute must have in my opinion.
Anyway, great to see you blogging. Keep those insider secrets coming
