 * Im a bit stuck, I have had my blog for about a month, and during that time one
   person has made a comment, it was my father in law who isn’t that internet 
   savvy so I thought it couldn’t be that hard!
 * Today I have had two people who wanted to leave a comment and when they typed
   their comment and pressed submit it went to a white page with a line of text 
   saying that you had to be logged in to leave a comment.
 * However, on my sidebar under ‘meta’ I don’t seem to have any kind of register
   button. I am using the theme dark maple and I have seen on other dark maple themed
   blogs, that they don’t have a register either. How can viewers make comments
   if there is no way to register and they are required to login to comment.
 * Am I missing something, have I changed something by mistake?
 * Can anyone help??!

 * 1. The setting that requires commenters/users to be logged in – comes from your
   settings. Admin panel > Options > General under Membership: “Users must be registered
   and logged in to comment”. UNcheck that box if you don’t want them to register.
   
   2. As for the “Register” link – add to the sidebar.php in the Meta section: `
   <li><a href="<?php echo get_settings('siteurl'); ?>/wp-register.php"><?php _e('
   Register'); ?></a></li>`
