It’s incredibly frustrating when you are all set to leave a comment and then . . . WHAT?!? I have to be a registered user of this site? Never mind.
That scenario happens more than you realize and it may be happening at your site and you don’t even know it. Please follow these directions to ensure that you allow everyone to comment on your site instead of just a few (unless you like it that way, then just ignore this post).
Blogger:
- Go to Dashboard > Settings > Comments.
- Beside Who Can Comment? Choose Anyone.
- Click Save Settings.

This is one of my pet peeves, and any site that doesn’t accept comments gets taken out of my reader, off my favourites, and is not revisited.
Blogs are about interaction, and if I can’t interact, I’d rather move on.
You’re so right!
I totally agree. It drives me nuts when I read a great post and want to tell the blogger, but I can’t make a comment.
There is one that is worse. Unreadable Kaptcha’s.
There are a couple of sites that I use a magnifying glass, and can only make out all the characters correctly about 20% of the time. And you don’t find the kaptcha in unreadable until after writing your comment.
Grr.
A couple of rounds five deep trying to answer the crappy kaptcha makes for a *very* memorable experience.
There are many sites that have simple ‘is fire hot or cold’ questions, or ‘what is 10 * 3′ that seem to work just as well.
It is so annoying! Plus, I never seem to notice it until I already have typed out my comment. Then it feels like a waste of time.
Thank you! I’m going to link to this post from my blog.
and to think i was the only one annoyed with this especially after i typed out a mini essay in the comment only to get the error message. thanks!!!
This is so annoying!!!!!!
Especially when Shannon does a give-away – I was wondering if she could mention this on her blog before she has the next give away.
So frustrating!!
