It’s because of the baroque and clandestine proprietorial spider’s web of your chosen blog platform. I hope you are not paying for their service.
It would be better if you got rid of the comments option altogether, frankly, rather than inviting comments within a system that makes commenting virtually impossible to all but the extremely determined and the quantum-lucky.
Not everyone wants to be forced to register with TypePad before they’re allowed to comment, you know. And even those of us who get that far do not want to be repeatedly told that we need to sign in when we already have signed in.
I’m a quite persistent person, and after 17 tries to post a comment here, I have just given up. I imagine most people give up a bit more easily. It was only when checking the link for a post on my own blog about how crap TypePad is that you have suddenly decided to allow me to comment.
I tried to get help from TypePad themselves, but it wouldn’t even allow me to send them a question, because I refused to sign up to their 14 day free trial, but yet my name and email address are already registered with them.
All I can say is what a crock, because otherwise your blog looks pretty and has loads of interesting stuff on it.
