 * Hi guys. It seems that no one can see the comment form and thus cannot post comments
   on my blog unless they are logged in. I’m using the latest (as of now) version
   of WordPress 2.6.3, and I’ve checked the settings under Settings–>Discussion,
   which are as follows:
 * Default article settings
    – everything turned ON, including: Attempt to notify
   any blogs linked to from the article (slows down posting.); Allow link notifications
   from other blogs (pingbacks and trackbacks.); Allow people to post comments on
   the article
 * Before a comment appears
    – first two options turned ON, i.e. An administrator
   must always approve the comment; Comment author must fill out name and e-mail–
   last option turned OFF, i.e. Comment author must have a previously approved comment
 * Is there someplace else in the template or WordPress Admin that might be causing
   this issue? The site is located at: [http://www.steveatwal.com](http://www.steveatwal.com)
 * Cheers
    Steve

 * i have checked your blog and it seems you have enabled ‘Users must be registered
   and logged in to comment’ option under settings->General Settings.
 * you have to uncheck this option to allow public users to post a comments.
