So somehow comments have been down for a while, and I had no idea about it. No error messages whatsoever. Yelling at Wordpress commencing.

Also, I love Ruby on Rails. More on that later.

Update: Aha. I think I had an extra empty line in the list of blacklisted phrases, meaning any comment would match the blacklist. Should work now. Now to wade through the spam comments to see if any genuine comments got caught.
