   How do I prevent Comments from being shown until they've been approved?

   The blog I need help with is reasonablehope.wordpress.com.

   At settings > discussion set it so that all comments have to be approved: http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/ .

   I had already checked the box requiring administrator to approve, but the Comment still showed on the page.

   Check that page again.

   Under "before a comment appears" this should be checked: An administrator must always approve the comment

   This should NOT be checked: Comment author must have a previously approved comment

   Yep, that's what I figured it should be, but the Comment still appears on the blog page. Any other thoughts?

   I just left a comment on your most recent post, and when I submitted it it says, "Please Note: Your comment is awaiting moderation."

   It works just fine as far as I can see.

   I left a test comment too.

   "Please Note: Your comment is awaiting moderation."

   Situation resolved.
