Cautiously Optimistic

Previously, I posted about my comments being rejected by most blogs and bouncing back to me. The situation continued to nag at me because I missed the interaction of the bloggers replying to my comments. I knew there had to be a solution. My fingers are crossed, but I think I've found a way around the bouncing. My "fix" has worked for nearly two weeks now, so I am optimistic.

Several years ago, I was advised to create two blogger profiles and to allow both to have administrative capabilities, and now I now why.

I used my Yahoo email account exclusively for my blog and for posting comments. It worked for nearly seven years. Then suddenly, it was not recognized for comments, and they began bouncing back to me.

If you are experiencing the same issue, here is my solution.

• you must have a different email account that is active

•  you must create a new blogger profile, using that email

•  invite the new email/blogger account to become an author to your existing blog

Note that BOTH of my account are designated as Administrator

•  even though both accounts are shown here as Administrators, the Tired Teacher account has NOT been activated yet. An email will be sent to this address and must be acknowledged in order for the account to be verified and activated.

•  once the new author has been activated, make sure it is listed as an Administrator. Use the pull down menu to make it also a blog administrator

•  sign out of your blog with the old account; however, make sure that the new email has been activated with blogger and is listed as an Administrator BEFORE doing this

• sign in to your blog with the new account - you MAY have to use a different browser (I did)

•  the problem should now be fixed - just make sure that the account that is signed in is NOT the account that has been bouncing.
