HI there,

I am having an issue with my new blog, people can't leave comments. It appears that I have all the settings in the right place. But still not functioning. Please help. If you don't have answers can someone please direct me to where I can get answers?

Thanks.

It's a Blogspot account: My Cup Of Tea (http://www.cherishscupoftea.blogspot.com)

Hi, ChihuahuaMomma!

I've tried a number of times to leave comments on your posts in your blog. I'm trying to again, right now. Let's see what happens!

It might take me a little bit of time to return to here though, because my main computer evidently has some kind of virus. Am unable to go anywhere on the Internet with it. So, I'm having to put up with using a dial-up connection on a Windows '98 machine. The connection is very slow!

Thanks!

Hi again, Momma!

I logged on to my Google account and then also went to my Blogger account via being already logged on to Google. I'm hoping that by already being logged on to Google, that I'll be allowed to leave you a comment. I also put your blog on my reading list in the Blogger part of my Google account.

So far, nothing yet... It's still trying to load the page where I can leave you a comment. If I was using a more updated machine and also had a faster connection, this just might work...

Thanks!

I've just now noticed that there is a place on your blog for a list of followers. I should be appearing there as one of them. Or, maybe just the only one, at this point.

Thanks!

No, you would be the third. And that doesn't help. That's why I have the two others. Nothing has worked so far, and I cannot figure it out.

I didn't see me on your list of followers. But, maybe that's because my browsers and computer were freaking out and I needed to shut down and restart my computer.

I will definitely try to leave you a comment on your blog when I'm on a more modern machine with a faster connection.

Do you mean that you have the two others because they also logged on to their Google accounts and then subsequently went to Blogger via their Google accounts?

I am now though, going to connect to your blog to see if I'm listed as one of your followers.

Thanks!

Yesh, and that wasn't suffiecient to commenting. I've tested with a few others before with no success. Yours must be the one that has no picture.

Perhaps its something in my code blocking the ability for guests to comment?? If so, how do I fix this?

I can see that I'm now listed as one of your followers! I'm the mysterious one who has no face! "He who shall remain faceless..." :eek: ;)

If I give you a link to one of my blogs, would you like to try posting a comment on it? Doing so might also give an idea as to what's going on.

Thanks!

I tried to post on the polaroid camera one the other day, I thought it was just my computer being silly :(
I hope you get it fixed!

I know that I can post comments, I do almost on a daily basis.

Okay, so I took three screenshots of the section where you change settings for the comments, hopefully someone can find what I did wrong. If you need any others, please let me know.

Ok, so that's the whole page... and now everyone knows all my favorite sites, lol. Oh wellzers!

Is that Vista? I've never actually seen it.

(You also might want to learn how to crop the screenprints.)

Nope XP, I should learn that, lol... That was actually my first time doing a screen shot, googled it.

My goodness! Those are "tiny" images, Momma! LOL! :)

Would you like for me to give you a link, Momma?

Thanks!

Sure.

I have to look to find the links. Will take me a minute or two...

I hope that my computer and browser don't "freak out" like they were doing last night, and that I have to shut-down and re-start! Last night was horrible with things happening for me on my computer!

Thanks!

It's all good, I'll be online for a while. But you can't tell anything from those pictures?? What could be wrong??

Here are a couple of links.

Test Blog: Just Testing Here (http://onetestbogspot.blogspot.com/2008/03/just-testing-here.html)

"bogspot?" What had I been drinking? Sheesh...! :eek:


Handyman in the Iowa - Illinois Quad Cities: March 2008 (http://quad-cities-handyman.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html)

They are ones where I was just testing out as to what Blogspot was about. I do have some others that are more developed. Nothing as pretty as the one that you have, though!

Please see if you can post comments on them.

Thanks!

Oops! That was a weird post! I wonder what happened? It was just a Post Reply that went to the Advanced Mode.

Thanks!

Ok, commented.

Ok, commented.

I'll log on and check...

Thanks!

It has nothing to do with my ability to comment, there is an issue with MY BLOG. MY BLOG won't let anyone comment.

Yep! Your comment came in loud and clear on my handyman one! I didn't have to login to see what you wrote.

Are you a member of Google?

Thanks!

Are you saying that you can comment on your own blog? Please forgive me if you've already mentioned that in another post on this thread.

Thanks!

Yes, I'm a member of Google. And no, I can't comment on my blog, no one can... that's my issue. I can comment on other's blogs though, not an issue.

I'm trying to see if I can post on your blog right now, Momma! I've already tried a number of times over the past several days.

My suggestion, at this point, would be to try a different template as the template that you're using might have a flaw in it. I don't think that you'll lose any information... Am not sure about that... If it were me having the blog that you have, I would give that a try.

Thanks!

Actually changing templates would make me lose LOTS of information, and that is the reason that I am so hesitant. I have however, posted on a blogger forum to see if I can get help.

Was the template that you used, one of those that's available on blogger.com?

Thanks!

No, it's from Pyzam.

No, it's from Pyzam.

Okay, then. That could very well be the problem. Any of the templates that I use on Blogger are from Blogger itself.

If you need to use one of the Blogger templates in order for others to be able to post comments, you just might need to do that. I've had to start things over on many websites. I copy and paste what I've posted into the draft file of my email so that I can at least keep what I've posted, and then start over to find something that works, if what I posted and/or tried to do didn't work. Sometimes, you just have to "bite the bullet" to get something to work.

Really, there's so much information out there.. so many ways to put out the information and format things on websites that a person can build, and other kinds of sites, that I'm sure that it's an impossibility for things between all of the different entities to be coordinated as to what is compatible between them.

Thanks!

I will do that, Clough, if the people in the blogger forum can't help me resolve this issue. Thank you for ALL the help!

IT WORKED!! GO comment your hinies off!!

You changed the template? I'll go check it out!

I'm also glad that people are now able to leave comments for you!

Way to go!! :)

Thanks!

I know that I was finally able to leave a comment on your blog for you, because the text box appeared. I typed something in it for you, Momma. Couldn't wait around any longer because my connection and this computer is so slow!

Will try again, at a later time...

Thanks!

Nope, same template. Just got the code that I needed, that the template was missing.

Thank you, feel free.

Hi, Momma!

What was the code and how did you find it, please?

Knowing that might be helpful with blogs that I start there.

Thanks!

It was an HTML code, I don't remember what it was. Just a bunch of letters to me. Go to Blogger Forum - Index (http://www.bloggerforum.com) and they can help you resolve any issues, they helped me with a lot of issues on my page. Now, it's ALMOST the way that I want it!

Thanks, Momma!

I will be trying what you suggested!

I'm sure that what you've posted here will be a benefit to others who have similar questions!

Thanks!

That's why I'm here... all of us, really.

Hey, Momma!

I was finally able to leave you a comment on your blog! I hope that it's there!

Thanks!

It is!! YAY!!

Cool! :)

I like the fact that they have someone who reviews the comments before they are posted. It didn't used to be that way there.

Thanks!

I review the comments before they are posted, there's an option for that, just like Myspace does.
