Comments not showing up on other blogs
-
Any comments I am leaving on other blogs are not showing up. Is anybody else experiencing this problem and does anyone know of a fix? From what I hear, the comments are all going to the spam folder of the blog I am leaving a comment on.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there, your post here was also caught. :(
If those sites you refer to are on WordPressdotcom, then Akismet may have you flagged accidentally.
Please use the Akismet contact form at https://akismet.com/contact/ and enter the words “marked as spam”. Then fill out the form that appears on the lower half of that page to notify Akismet staff of the problem. Make sure you enter the email address that is associated with your WordPressdotcom username account.

Thank you so much for contacting me with your advice. This has grown into a serious problem with many comments from other bloggers now also ending up in my spam folder. I’ve completed the form and sent it off to Akismet.
