Comments are back

For reasons I still don't understand after a lot of troubleshooting, the comments function on this blog ceased to work late last fall.  I've been using the "advanced templates" version of TypePad to enable some sidebar features that I couldn't do otherwise.  However, I've now reverted to their standard template.  That's restored the comments function, but I've lost some other things, so will keep working on it.  --Dennis
