May be a stupid question, but...

    How can I get it so that anyone can comment on blogspot blog. In other words, they don't have to sign in via blogger, AIM, OpenID. They can just post a comment on it if they want. I feel like this would make my blog much more user friendly.

    Thanks for any help.

    I have only really used blogger a few times, but if I remember correctly, it is somewhere in the settings, maybe in the comment settings.

    I think there is an option whether to allow comments to public visitors.

    I hope this helps, sorry I couldn't be more specific, check in the settings :)

    You're right, it is under Settings --> Comments. Just select "Anyone" under the heading "Who Can Comment." There are a few different options you can choose from but yeah when I'm browsing Blogger blogs I'm often discouraged if I can't use Name/URL.

    Yes, you can change the Comment settings and select "Anyone". Your blog's visitors will no longer need to put in any ID to comment. I wouldn't suggest doing it this way though because it opens up your blog to spam comments.

    My two cents. Have a good day!

    In your settings there is an option called 'Allows anonymous users to comment' select that option

    I'd still suggest trying this feature out even though it opens your blog to spam. This is because not all blogs attract sophisticated spammers. I know Blogger's spam filters aren't very good, but it is worth a try. If nothing, you can always revert back to your old settings.
