Google Blogger Help Needed: Unable to Comment!

I hope you're all having a great Memorial Day weekend! I'll be back later this week with a couple new posts, but today's is an open call for help from my blogger friends.

For the past week, I have been unable to comment on many of the blogs I follow, which is probably why many of you haven't seen me around on your pages. Even though I am signed in to Blogger, when I try to view and comment on another blogger's page, the system often doesn't recognize my profile. It's like it doesn't think I'm really signed in. And when I try to sign in again, it doesn't help. Plus, since many blogs won't accept anonymous, name/URL comments, I have no way to leave one.

I submitted a question via Google's help forum but haven't gotten any feedback. Is anyone else having this problem? Any advice on how to fix it? If so, please feel free to leave me a message or email me at htwalrath@gmail.com. After a week of this happening, I'm totally fed up!!

  1. I wish I could be of more help...but that has never happened to me. Hopefully a google admin will answer your question in the forum!

  2. Just read on the forum, if you are using Google Chrome you need to clear your cache and cookies, then close restart the browser. {make sure the cache and cookies have been cleared} Hopefully that works for you! I will keep looking for you too :D

  3. This hasn't happened to me either, but sometimes when blogger is glitchy I re-open it in another browser (my default is Mozilla but then I'll switch to Chrome). Good luck!
