Change to Comments Settings

I'd really like more students and readers commenting on the blog but my worry has always been spam. I have until now moderated all comments, just as a filter but I was still getting loads of spam through to moderate. Word verification stopped that and so I've now done away with moderation. This means your comments should appear immediately after you complete the word verification stage. Should the spammers return I'll have to go back to the old way, but I hope this encourages more of you to comment on posts.
