Thanks again Hans, this has been very helpful. If I go to a blog
entry, (for example http://www.shadlen.org/~maria/pmwiki/Blog/1) I get
a link to "edit comment page", but not a link to add a comment, and
the edit comment page does seem to be a regular pmwiki edit form, not
a comment box. I'm guessing I am missing a link?

cheers,
maria
