If you want to save a couple more dollars, a recent security now
episode[1] mentioned cheapsslsecurity.com, which is another reseller of
certs. The least expensive options are from Comodo, starting at $6/year
for a 1 year expiration. ($24 for a 5-year expiration, which they
promote as $4.80/year).

(Short expiration periods are considered better for security, and the
high-end extended validation certs top out at 2-years. But if you are
just securing the comment form on your personal blog, a $24/5-year cert
will do the trick for the least cost.)
