  I haven’t figured out a way to allow comments to automatically appear without requiring moderation.

  Is there a setting for that, or do all comments have to be approved?

  We will need a link to your blog, starting with http, to ensure that our answers work for your blog.

  Sorry, I thought it was a general question.

  We always need to make sure the blog is hosted here. A good 30% of our questions come from people hosted elsewhere, and the software is different.

  You can allow comments without moderation by going to Settings-> Discussion and unchecking the following:

  Before a comment appears:
  An administrator must always approve the comment
  Comment author must have a previously approved comment

  Oh!
  I can’t believe I didn’t think to look there.

  Thanks so much.
  Sorry for wasting your time with such a stupid question.

  Not a waste of time at all. No problem.
