blog comments?

i had a few people mention how difficult blogger makes it to leave comments so i researched a little and found out how to change the settings. those of you who had trouble before may want to try it again. if i did the settings correctly, you should be able to leave a comment without having to sign over your first born child. also, i found that when i post a comment to answer someone back, it doesn't take on the first try and i get an error message but then i hit the submit button a second time and it takes the comment. don't know what that is all about but it works and i'll keep doing it that way. if anyone knows any other secrets about how to work around some of these blogger quirks, let me know. thanks!
