It's been very discouraging to constantly come upon blogs that have their comment section, usually unknowingly, closed to all but people with a Google/Blogger ID.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;If Blogger users add Open ID to their allowed commenters this will let WordPress and TypePad users leave comments that link to their blog.  There is also a setting where folks can enter their name and URL so that their post will link back to them.  Many people also allow Anonymous postings, too and just moderate the comments to make sure nothing slips by them they don't want to appear.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;If anyone has any questions about making the changes, please contact me.  I look forward to reading your Blog-a-thon entries and leaving commments on many of them.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18734696/6590473305330319093/comments/default/1984656993512715882'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18734696/6590473305330319093/comments/default/1984656993512715882'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.gracioushospitality.com/2008/03/commenting-ease.html?showComment=1206083820000#c1984656993512715882' title=''/><author><name>fireflynights</name><uri>http://fireflynights.wordpress.com/</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img1.blogblog.com/img/openid16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.gracioushospitality.com/2008/03/commenting-ease.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18734696.post-6590473305330319093' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/18734696/posts/default/6590473305330319093' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-334239105'/></entry></feed>
