I finally found the problem that was causing the blog's comments to stop working. Apparently something is wrong with the built in anti-spam software that is causing the site to auto-delete every comment and return an error to the user. I'll be looking into this as time permits, but I happened to check the eventlog inside of Community Server and found a message that clued me into the real problem. I'll post more details here and in the CS forums if I learn anything else.
I'm back from my 11 day Italian honeymoon. Kim and I toured through Rome and Florence with a side trip to Tivoli. I've posted a few photos online on my MSN Spaces account. I'll possibly get around to posting some descriptions of what you're looking at and the trip in general at some point in the future. I've got 299 photos so labeling them will take some time!
