Can anyone point me to some documentation or give advice on how to configure the blog module? I've created a site for a single blog user. I want to allow annon comments, like Word Press blogs, but cannot see how this is done. After enabling the module, I edited the blog entry content type, but did not see anything related. The only thing there was default comment setting wich was already set to Reade/Write. Also I downloaded the the captcha and captcha riddler modules to help fight spam posts, but I see that WP blogs seem to allow posting without captcha. Also, I'm surpised that you have to code your own Recent Posts Block. Can anyone with experience with this module give me a few pointers?
Comments
For comments all you have to
For comments all you have to do is enable the comment module.
For a recent post block install the view module which comes with that block coded. All you have to do is enable it.
Life Blog | Data Transferring | Song Analysis
Comment module was enabled
I created a new blog entry and signed out. I was able to see the blog entry, but had to click on it to show the link for the blog author name and post comment - why do I have to click on the post to see these?
When clicking on the post comment link, it took me nowhere, but the link pointed to /?q=comment/reply/4# comment-form.
Something else is apparently not configured.
Thanks for the reply.

in administer -> access control
if you check anon user role and give them the ability to post comments , they shall have the ability to do so. There should be nothing else to do.
with regards to the link problem you are having, posting a link to your site may help others diagnose possibilities for you.
if nothing else stating what theme is in use would help tremendously.

If you ask nicely I'll give you a towel : )
Thanks...
My site is not yet live - this is all being dome on localhost. I'm using a custom theme. I'll try your suggestion and let you know.
One thing you forgot...
Anon user need to be given access to comments as well - that got rid of the issue of having to click on the post to see the add comment link as well, but I'd like to configure it so there would be two links on the blog - one for posting a comment, and one for how many comments there are - like http://shellmultimedia.com. So now the anon user can post comments. How do I add extra fields to the reply such as name and e-mail address?
Something else - I only have the option of preview comment when commenting, so I have to preview the comment before posting. This causes the Captcha to fail. Is this a template issue?
Worked it out
All my problems were solved by editing the comment content type.
