A Hint For Blogspot Bloggers
A friendly reminder.....
Having had a Blogspot blog, this one, but abandoning it for my own hosted blog, I'd like to give a tip on comment settings. You must choose "Anyone can comment" or something to that effect or some of us simply cannot post. People who do not have a Google/Blogger, Wordpress, Typepad, LiveJournal, AIM, or that OpenID thing, whatever that is, can't post a comment. If I leave a comment on your blog with my name and blog address typed in, (something I really don't like to do - sounds pushy or something) your settings aren't rest-of-the-world friendly. I see this all the time and most times, it's just because, well, you don't realize it excludes lots of folks. Probably, most of the people out there use one of those services, but there are those who don't. There are a whole lot of people who love to read blogs, but don't blog themselves. Many of them would love to leave a comment, but have none of those accounts.
For someone who doesn't like to sound pushy, that smacked of it, didn't it? Sorry.
Here's how to do it:
Go to "Dashboard"
Next, choose "Settings"
Then "Comments"
Under "Comments" find, "Who can comment?" Choose the first option: Anyone - Including Anonymous Users
Use a spam filter if you feel that will be a problem, but I never had any.
