Can Only Comment On My Own Blog

  Since last night, whenever I leave a comment on someone else’s blog, the page refreshes but my comment does not show. I don’t get a message that there was an error, or that the comment is awaiting moderation. The comments do not show on the My Comments list, either. Is there a way to tell if I’m being tagged as spam? I checked the Akismet page on my blog, but it only shows spam on my own blog. These are the posts I’ve tried to comment on:

  http://katcampbell.wordpress.com/2008/02/17/stop-reading/
  http://elwriter.wordpress.com/2008/02/17/trying-to-start-something/
  http://verb2be.wordpress.com/2008/02/17/hemingway-said-write-the-truest-sentence-you-know/

  I can comment on my own blog with no problem.

  Thanks,
  Mike

  Contact the bloggers, if you can and ask them to look in their spam filters for your comments.

  @mikeholm
  I got your comment just fine. Try logging out of wordpress and leaving another.

  Dear thesacredpath, I am now able to post comments. I tried the places that failed earlier and it worked. Maybe it was just a temporary glitch. Thanks for your help.

  You’re welcome, and glad whatever the problem was has gone away.
