Reminds me to check whether or not I've allowed comments there. Ah heck, it's not going to change my life over night if I can't remember this detail.

I have fixed my profile, it should now be pointing to the blog that I have that IS hosted by wordpress.com.

I'd have fixed it earlier, but was out all day.

http://wordpress.org/support/

Not only will you find the right place to post about your self-hosted blog, you'll probably also be able to find info related to it there.

I noticed on one of your topics that you do have a wordpress.com blog, but unfortunately you're not linking to it here in the wordpress.com forums, instead you're linking to ones that are self-hosted. As Timethief says and as I said to you, here:
http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/what-are-your-goals-for-your-blog/page/2?replies=35#post-935894
These forums are just for wordpress.com. The two are different.

You have been gently told by another WordPress.com blogger that you are not welcome to promote your WordPress.org blog here. Your response was to amp up your posting here in a forum your don't belong in rather than blogging off. Your blog is not part of the WordPress.com community and these forums are only for WordPress.com bloggers. Please find another place to promote your WordPress.org blog. Thanks, in advance, for listening.

I guess it depends on the blog itself. If it's a blog about nothing in particular, like mine, comments are welcome at all times.

If it's a professional blog, or a cause or something, and the purpose is not up for discussion, I could see comments being disabled, making more sense.

As for what you get I always moderate the first comment from everyone. Even so there is only one comment I didn't publish, I turned it into a post instead and reported it to the Human Rights Commisson.

Hmm... it's the 'you never know what you'll get' that worries me... ;)

@invisiblemikey - I'm thinking of this for a different blog (that I'm currently working on and hope I will be publishing one day soon!) There's a contact form for people to use on my art site on the home page and people have been in touch. :)

@noirciplume - of my older blogs, I had one About page with comments enabled, and one without. I can't remember which was better, hence the quesiton. Also I'm interested in what other people think. :)
