Clare's Dad

I didn’t realize that it had been two weeks since I last read some of the blogs that I regularly check out. Maybe I shouldn’t even be using the word regularly in that sentence.

Actually, I’m in the middle of catching up on dozens of blogs right now. But there’s a problem. For some reason, I’m having a hard time leaving comments on Blogger blogs with my new WordPress Open ID. I could comment with my Blogger account name, but I don’t want the comment to point back to a blog that I’m not updating anymore and plan to block soon.

It’s a shame because I’ve been attempting to leave some pretty witty comments. The problem here is that you might not believe me. “Sure,” you’re thinking, “you’re reading hundreds of posts from two weeks’ time and you’re just not able to comment because of a technical glitch. How convenient.”

But really, I’m serious. I have been reading hundreds of posts. Some of you with a litter of kids even find the time to post every single freakin’ day. (I’m lookin’ at you, Ed.)  I’ve tried to comment on Greg‘s new job, Leighton‘s son’s birthday cake, Dad Stuff‘s son’s part in a play, and James‘ using a space heater in his office.  Those are just a few of the posts I’ve been reading.  I thought at first that my comments were being saved for review and I just wasn’t getting that message correctly, but after I had problems commenting several times on several different blogs I realized that much of my commenting has been in vain.  If you want to know what witty musings I have on your lives for the past two weeks you’ll just have to call me.

So, does anyone know what the problem with this Open ID thing might be and how to fix it?  I’m sure it’s something ridiculously easy that I’m missing.

Update:  I’ve narrowed down the problem.  It’s only happening in Blogger blogs where the comments appear in a pop-up window.  But maybe not if you’re using Haloscan.  Weird.
