Anonymous, still can't comment?

Since May, "anonymous" has been doing a lot of commenting. It was something Blogger was supposed to fix, in May, they said. Umm, not yet done. Having read the pages of what we can do--and finally semi-understanding it---I can offer some advice. My offering computer advice is a joke in itself, so, if you prefer, you can go to the pages I read and decifer it for yourself. You will need to click on all the links provided, and each one offers more links. http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/blogger/thread?tid=598fff8a262de49b&hl=en Not having figured out the difference between Blogger and Blogspot, I will problaby interchange them incorrectly, but the info itself will work.
