Hi Rajeev – You’ve got a nice blog but that fact that comments are moderated goes against the spontaneous nature of blogging. The bigger value of a blog is the discussion it spawns. Don’t moderate that.
OK. So I need to take back what I said because the above comment appeared right away. But – I did leave a comment on another post and that said the comment awaits moderator approval.
