Most blog software allows you to set a default length of time that
comments will be open.

I think it would help to set a default of, say, 7 days.
And then blog posters can modify that if they wish, but they don't have to
remember to turn it off.

Does our current software allow that?
What is it set to?

Does our post-migration software allow that?
What do we want it to be set to?
