UPDATE: Comments seem to be working again. A beta feature had stopped working and caused everything to hose up. We turned off that feature in the master settings for the blog and can now publish comments. So flame away!
One note: you may not see the counter increment right away, but the comments are there if you look for them.
We use Haloscan to manage comments. Usually it is a great tool, but it has been down pretty much since last night.
If you are trying to add a comment and getting only a whit screen when you publish it is not you problem, nor is it ours. The Haloscan folks are looking into it...
