We’ve been having some minor server problems here the past couple of days. If you try to post a comment you may get a “500 internal server error” message back. It’s quite probable, though, that despite that message your comment will have been posted onto the correct page successfully.
But also, the counter thingy that tells you on the front page the number of comments on each post has been failing to count the newly posted comments.
So there may be many recently posted comments on the blog that you’re not aware of. (Including, possibly, ones you may have posted yourself and gotten the “500 internal server error” message for.)
Sorry about this glitch in service. Keep posting your comments! My trusty tech advisor and I will continue trying to fix this.
