"More crowing and a bit of pinching myself: Tourist Trap not only took first place in science fiction, it received the Garcia Award or best fiction book of the year. How often does that happen for a science fiction book?"

Hi Sue Ann.

What kind of book is Tourist Trap?

Hi, Sue Ann -- I don't know if this remotely answers your WordPress question, but I'm wondering, when you're asked for your identity to leave a comment, if you need to leave your WordPress user name (i.e., not the name of the blog). Or are you doing that (i.e. and I'm misunderstanding you)? I ran into a similar problem, but for me the reason is that I'm using wordpress.org (so even though I have a WordPress site, I'm not recognized in the .com paradigm). I work around it by using a non-WordPress identity. So much to figure out!
