Thanks to Jordan McCollum at Momma Blogga for this answer. I haven’t heard of this specific problem before, but these are the things I would try: Sign up for a Blogger account at Blogger.com. Some BlogSpot blogs don’t allow anonymous comments; you have to sign in to Blogger to comment. (If you have a GMail [...]
I use WordPress. Every time I try to publish a comment on a BlogSpot page, it won’t allow me. I have to do it anonymously. Is this a WordPress problem and how do I fix it?

October 22, 2007 By 2 Comments
I looked this one up on the Blogger Help site and they had a few options. Several people have already answered this question and have templates you can download. I won’t go over them here, but I will point you to where you need to go. NOTE: It bears repeating: Before you mess around with [...]
When I view my Blogger blog I see on my side bar little tools on each item I’ve added to the template. Is this something I can get rid of?

Don’t worry, your readers can’t see the tools that show up when you look at your site. The tools show up because you are logged in to Blogger and it recognizes that you are the owner of the site. The tools are there so you can easily click and edit. Readers who aren’t you won’t [...]

April 25, 2007 By 6 Comments

First you need to choose which blog platform you’re going to use. We’ve written an article giving some basic information on the most popular blog platforms. If you aren’t [...]
Which blog platform should I choose?
March 30, 2007 By 1 Comment
There are so many blogging platforms (the company that provides your blog software–e.g., Blogger, TypePad, or WordPress) out there it would impossible for me to list them all. However, there are several that are the most popular and I’ll cover those in this post. Rather than re-type information that is already out there, I will [...]
Blogger recently established a box at the bottom of comment sections that you can check to get follow up comments sent to you. I don’t want to read “everyone’s” comments in the string, only if the author responds. Is this the way it works?
No. If you check the box to be updated (via e-mail) with new comments or responses, you will receive all comments/responses (including those posted by the author). Depending on the discussion topic, the site’s traffic, etc. this may or may not inundate you with e-mail.
