Again the unexpected behaviour by the blogger theme..... :-(

When everything is expected to work smoothly something will behave in an unexpected manner. This time it was the jenes3c theme
 
 which was working properly but all of a sudden it was taking hell lot of time to load (using GNU/linux) so tried hosting the images and referrenced it in the tpl file but even that was not working and the amazing part was the there was no problem with the counterpart (Windows), It was working as expected on that platform. Why Why Why????? .... cann't come up with any rational reason. So changed the theme to the current one.. Hopefully will stick on with it iff not presented with no such @^&%^$(.

Comment entry for the current theme was not active - made it work

Replaced the

<div id='respond'>
        <h4>
        <a expr:href='data:post.addCommentUrl' expr:onclick='data:post.addCommentOnclick'><data:postCommentMsg/></a>
        </h4>
    </div>

with

<p class='comment-footer'>
        <b:if cond='data:post.embedCommentForm'>
          <b:if cond='data:post.allowNewComments'>
            <b:include data='post' name='comment-form'/>
          <b:else/>
            <data:post.noNewCommentsText/>
          </b:if>
        <b:else/>
          <b:if cond='data:post.allowComments'>
            <a expr:href='data:post.addCommentUrl' expr:onclick='data:post.addCommentOnclick'><data:postCommentMsg/></a>
          </b:if>
        </b:if>

      </p>

in the template file of the current theme.
