  Have you contacted the blog owners? They may have their comments set to moderation and need approval before they get posted.

  There is a bug, se other threds here today. A lot of blogs have this problem today. Check you own filter as well, right now everything goes into mine.

  I’ve committed on all of their blogs before, dr. mike, and none were moderated but I’ll try that. Someone did manage to comment on mine so…

  I will check my filter, thanks beat.

  Yes, sometimes you get dumped into Spam even if you’ve been around commenting on those very blogs for ages. After last week’s huge spam attack, I think Akismet tightened things up a bit too much. Should be temporary, as long as you un-spam yourself.

  how do we un-spam ourselves? Or check the filter?

  You check the filter for your own comments on your blog, then un-spam them using the button near the bottom of the page. Then, if that doesn’t do the trick, you keep commenting on your own blog and un-spamming yourself until it finally takes.

  Here’s where to find your spam filter
  Dashboard => Comments => Akismet Spam

  i figured out that only wordpress users are being blocked at my site – including MYSELF! ;)
  i mean, I can’t say anything against WordPress, this service is heaven compared to blogger-hell, which I just left.
  but this Akismet thing is a bit to tight, right?

  For the moment. I just noticed it must have loosened up, though, since a couple of spams got through. Check again on your own blogs and see if you’re still being blocked.

  Click on the post header and you’ll get a page displaying only that post plus the comments. I don’t think there is a theme that displays all commments on the main page.
