I’ve installed a new commenting system, using the Disqus platform. I’ve noticed that it doesn’t update the number of comments that have been made on a post right away, but other than that it seems to work fairly well, which is a big improvement from the not working at all status of comments for the past couple of weeks. Unfortunately the old comments are lost.
The commenting problem was actually only the most visible aspect of a whole series of back-office technical problems that had to be worked out, but hopefully everything is ship shape now. Hopefully.
Comments are working again
