Ack! Technical difficulties

I'm off to do battle with Blogger... I'm having a strange problem with the comments not showing up and not being emailed to me until I actually publish something. I'll look through the help and discussion stuff and see if I can figure out what's going on.

Update: Blogger is winning this round so far...

Update 2: I've turned on "comment moderation" and it seems to be responding correctly now. We'll see how that works out. Call it a "truce" at this point. :)
