This is a small thing, but you may have noticed that your comment posted with a preview of your post in a box. This happens when you hit the enter key between your teaser and your link. In future, if you either just leave a space or use a colon instead, your comment will post without the box/preview. Just one of those strange WordPress quirks, I guess. Thanks so much!
