In reply to: Cannot leave comments on WordPress websites.Success!
I took Ipstenu’s advice and contacted Akismet. They emailed me back that they fixed the problem, whatever the “problem” was. I tested it by commenting on a site I visit and comment at often, and this was the firsst time I didn’t have to email the blog author and ask her to fish me out of spam. Hurrah!
Thanks for all the great advice. Glad one of the tips worked!

In reply to: Cannot leave comments on WordPress websites.Thanks so much for the tips. I know my daughter doesn’t use Akismet, but others might. I just find it odd that every WordPress blog except my own sends my comments to spam.
I have tried posting with different nicknames, but I’ve not tried using a different email or tinyurl. I’ll try those other suggestions to see if that works.
Meanwhile, I’ll also remain open to other suggestions!

In reply to: Cannot leave comments on WordPress websites.So please don’t be too hard on Alex298. I’m sad to hear that no one can help, because I too cannot leave comments on other people’s WordPress blogs, including my friends’ and daughter’s blogs.
Gabe, you’re right: my comments go to their spam folder 100% of the time. The only way my comments ever appear is when I contact the blog owner and ask them to look in their spam folder. Lo and behold, there I am!
One particular blog friend tells me she now checks her spam folder daily, as I am not the only legitimate person who ends up there. It seems this is a problem for more than just Alex.
As to the content of my comments, I post kind, positive comments. I don’t flame, I don’t use profanity, and I don’t include links.
Is there no help for me?
