This happened to me on Sunday, I was baffled and thought I was locked out of the treehouse. The new site is still making my head hurt, but this will likely happen until at least 2011.

We're pushing the limits of this plugin, because it's initial use was just to aggregate posts w/out comments at all from multiple blogs and send people back to the originals. Since ours works the opposite of that, it requires ... tweaking. I'm working on it some, and thankfully the guy who wrote the plug-in is helping. Bear with me. Things are a little crazy just now.

I didn't realize there was a distinction between main and personal blogs. Dave's always good about apprising everyone on logistics and mechanics, so I must have overlooked this, since it probably would have predated my return to the fold.

In order to get some features you have to give up others. This is because there are actually two different blogs -- Main page and Personal archive). I think Dave turned on the Leave Comment (which by default is Comments Closed) early in the morning so that comments would show up on your column on the main page and perhaps start a thread. Then -- and I'm guessing here -- after four comments he may have activated something that left an actual count at the bottom instead of just Leave Comment. That was desirable so that people would see that a thread had been started, but it also apparently put the whole thing in your Personal blog and started the Main blog clean. Hence, you end up with separate posts. Again, I'm just guessing, and hopefully the collating problem will be solved at some point. What I did on my column last month when the same thing happened, and which I anticipated, was copy my comments from one blog and paste them in the other (17 comments all in one post, even though the count said 1). That took place two or three days after my column came out, so in effect I have an accurate personal archive, which is what I wanted, but if anyone is scrolling through the main pages at a later date, they aren't going to find my columns have all the comments. Hope that simplified explanation clears up some things for you and others. I know Dave isn't satisfied with the current setup, however, and so there may be a resolution upcoming. A lot depends on the freeware plug-ins available and figuring out how they work. -- Sully Brian, there are some quirks that have to do with plug-ins and Dave is trying to work them out.

I'm glad to be back too. Although this new site host is making my brain hurt, trying to figure out its quirks. Yours is the first comment to show up under the main page. Follow a different path to the essay, though, and there are 4 others from earlier in the day. Is this normal? Thanks, Wayne. I’m glad to be back too.
