I want to put in my two cents!

Many of us (especially me) like to be able to put our two cents in by making comments on other people's blogs. It helps you make friends and it's fun!

So, I made a goal to try and read and comment on at least 10 of the blogs I follow a day. I've been working on it and have found some FABULOUS ones, but when I tried to leave a comment, Blogger wouldn't accept my email address or url for velvetonthepage, and kept redirecting me to sign into my google account OVER and OVER and OVER again....

It had me tearing my hair out!

Blogger help had lots of people complaining about the same thing, but either the question was left unanswered or there was goobledegook that didn't really solve the problem.

I finally googled it and found the answer and now I can comment on blogs! Here is what finally worked for me in case you are having the same problem.

You do need a gmail (google email) account which is easy to set up if you haven't already here: http://goo.gl/aNh7e
Once you have a gmail account, then there are three suggestions- the first worked for me, but you can try the others if need be:

First try:
1/ Log in to Blogger using www.blogger.com (you may have to click on "sign out" first if you go automatically go directly to your own blogger page like mine did). You need to get a fresh start! 
2/ Do not check "remember me" or "stay signed in" or ANY such thing. Then you should be able to comment with your blogger name- yay!

If that doesn't work:
1/ Clear cache, cookies, and sessions (all three)- then restart the browser.
2/ Login to Blogger using www.blogger.com
3/ Do not check "remember me" or "stay signed in".

If that still doesn't work:
1/Go to IE tools, then internet options, then privacy, then sites....enter www.blogger.com , then click allow.

I really hope that helps other people! Look for comments on your blogs from me, and I would love to hear from you too.

And......I think any of your comments would be worth WAY more than two cents......


And now if I can just avoid this:
....all will be well! Let's talk....

Here are my two favorite blog posts I found today:

1/ Because this tutorial uses vintage children's encyclopedia book pages....

2/ and because this blogger finds strange things interesting like I do!

  2. Thank you so much for sharing this post. A few of my blog readers mentioned having the same problem with commenting. Do you know if there's anything that can be done on the blogger's end? I was looking through my blog settings and preferences and couldn't find anything useful.

  3. It has been a nightmare for me. And I still have not figured it out. I have three different gmail accounts and two active blogs. It just seems to randomly alternate between how I am following a person. Sometimes usually my personal photo--other times using my soaps photo. For now I am giving up..Maybe tomorrow, if I still have hair left!! lol

  5. I have experienced all of the above, and blogger doesn't seem to care! I hate having to sign in EVERY time but it is their bug and I don't think it is anything we are doing. I also find I am signed in at least 2 different ways and have not figured out why. This is such a basic problem- I hope they fix it eventually- at least I can comment again!
