Welcome to the j-blogosphere. :)
Switch to haloscan comments. Most bloggers already realize that its better. Its easier to manage comments and conversations flow easier.
Thanks!
How do I install haloscan though?
There's an automatic installer once you sign up. It'll put haloscan on your blog. You may then have to hide blogger comments through your blogger dashboard. Sign up for haloscan and give it a shot. If that works and you need some extra info I'll try to give you a hand.
Incidentally, I have no idea why I was logged in with that name (blogger beta, I suppose). I am Missisippi Fred, from before.
Don't confuse the man. You're S. :)
Thanks Joe, I will add it.
