How do blog comments work?
When the comments are made, you automatically get an email, which you MAY choose to verify. The PERSON who made the comment also gets an email which they are supposed to verify. Either person may verify – it does not require both. We do not create those emails manually, they are done automatically. If you reply via email, directly to the commenter, that is private and will not appear on the blog. You may choose to reply publicly on the blog from inside your control panel. This process, although just a tad cumbersome, is necessary to combat a phenomenon known as “blog spam.” It also gives you a chance to disallow vulgar or unwanted comments.
