Well, I finally figured out how to make my blog publish dynamically. There really was no clear direction from the Movable Type Manual. I sort of stumbled upon it by accident, really. I noticed, finally, that the list of templates state whether they are published statically (an html file is produced and stored on a server) or dynamically (the post content is stored in a data base, then recalled and quickly produced on the spot). So, I took a look at the individual templates and discovered you simply choose at that point which which type.
So, I now have all my templates publishing dynamically. It should decrease the wait on submitting comments, and immediately show them, instead of displaying the cached page saved on your computer, which never has your just submitted comment.
That means, Bryan, you won't be doubling up on your comments, leading me to delete one of them. Not that I enjoy deleting your comments.
No, seriously Bryan. I don't enjoy deleting your comments. I only enjoy deleting the comments of assholes who think insulting me, or another commenter, on my own low traffic blog is going to be tolerated. It's why I switched back to registration. I want to be able to weed out the trolls intent on simple ad hominem attacks.

The only possible double post would have been on the the first comment, which indicated a server error and no indication that anything occured.
On the second post where I gave the "testing" comment, I checked to see if the comment counter incremented, which it did, even if I couldn't see the comment.
I did check the preview mode, which always worked, in both cases.
I'm going to preview this one and then submit. If it comes up twice you'll you have a separate problem.
