Static Pages And Comments

After long waiting, Blogger added a static pages option to our blogs. And even as blogger are busy adding static pages to their blogs, they are learning what static pages are - and what they are not. And as we note what static pages are not, we have to note that one feature which they appear to provide - comments - may not work for everybody.

Some bloggers have observed that comments do not work on their static pages. Comments are a complex product, and are sensitive to many settings - both in the blog, and on the client computers.

Right now, we're just starting to look at this deficiency. Help us out here, if you are able.

• First (guess what is first?) what is the URL of the blog with the noted problem?
• Does the blog use Embedded, Popup, or Separate Page comments?
• Is the problem observed on the computer of the blog owner, on the computers of the readers, or all computers?
• If the problem is inconsistently observed on multiple computers, what operating system and browser is in use when the problem is noted? When the problem is not noted?
• Does the blog contain any customisations in the post template?
• Have you tried standard comments diagnostics?

That's where we start. The initial diagnoses start with you, and with what you can tell us.
