1. Is the comment being moderated? You may need to approve or publish the comment before it will show up. If you're using the blog4Umbraco package there is a comment moderation dashboard control.
2. You would need to change to property displayed with the xslt (value-of). I assume now it's displaying bodyText. You would need to specify a different property with teaser text. You could also do a substring function on the bodytext if you didn't want a seperate field for summary or teaser.
two questions from newbei - blog questions
Hi,
1.) After new comment is posted, you get "Thank you" note, but the comment list doesn't refresh. How do you do that?
2.)How do I change the Xslt if I'd like to show only part of the blog posts on first page and add a link to read the whole article?
THX for your help. Please,direct me in right direction.

Hi Chris,
where can I find a comment moderation dashboard control?
It seems I can't even find comment in Umbraco Administration. Is it possible that moving the blog folder under homepage caused that?
The dashboard comment moderation control should be found under /usercontrols/Blog4Umbraco/CommentModeration.ascx.
Here is a blog post on implementing this feature.
http://umbraco.org/blog/2009/12/10/blog-4-umbraco-2010-–-comment-moderation.
The comments are actually stored in a separate table in the database called Comments. So there would not be a content node for the comments.
I believe they should be showing up immediately after the post (if the page was refreshed). Do you have the latest version of the blog?
