I normally do not manually check my blog and look for comments. I get email notifications. Suddenly the notifications stopped coming and I actually wondered why suddenly I was not getting any comments to the blog, but I did not really spend time looking into it.

I have no discovered that Blogger has a glitch right now and many blog sites have been affected by it. The glitch has caused the comment notifications to not work. They are working on a solution, and int he meantime have posted workarounds and temporary solutions, which I have now implemented.

I apologize for not responding to any comments - it isnt that I was ignoring them, but had not known they existed. I will go back somewhat, time permitting, and look for comments I might respond to, but I will mostly concentrate on moving forward and trying to ensure this doesnt happen again
