Please point me to the control so I can enable user comments to blog posts to be published immediately, i.e. without requiring administrator approval.

Hello,

BlogComments has a property ApprovalMode which you can set to None. Every comment should then be automatically approved, please note that this will also turn off spam filters. For example you can set it on BlogPostView:

<MonoX:BlogComments runat="server" ID="ctlComments" ApprovalMode="None">

</MonoX:BlogComments>

I would recommend that you set it to Automatic as it would use antispam services to flag comments as spam which in turn would not approve spam comments.

Regards,
Mario

This can be easily achieved by setting the ApprovalMode property of the blog container part to None (it will propagate this setting to the comments part). If you want to do is through admin toolbar, just click on the part properties verb (it will be available when mouse hovers over the blog part in the admin mode) and search for the "Comments approval mode" setting in the list of available properties.
