So digging through the bowels of the webside, I found another checkbox that allowed CAPTHCHA to prevent access to replies and comments on BLOG posts. I had previously disabeled it, I thought universally, but it was just in the DISCUSSION section.
SO, please help by posting something and if CAPTCHA blocks you, send me an email at mizewon@gmail.com so I can try again.
PLEASE, POST, POST, POST!
