Several commenters have been misled by the way WordPress handles first time comments into thinking that what they have written has gone missing because nothing happens when they hit the “post” button.  Fear not- that’s not a bug, that’s a feature.  I’ll explain.

The first time a reader comments on b2b that comment goes off into a queue for me to approve. This isn’t because I want to pick and choose who gets to play here- it’s to stop spamming.

You know, you’ve seen them.

“I’ve started making $37,264 an hour from home doing just this one small thing…”

and

“This one simple trick eliminates belly fat in just six weeks…”

So I need to approve every first comment by a reader.  After that, you’re good to go.  Sometimes it just takes me a while to spot a comment needing approval.  It’s a dirty job, but- trust me- someone’s got to do it.

As always, thanks so much for stopping by.
