I was about to note that I don't have any trouble commenting on Blogger sites even though I don't run Google Chrome -- but then I saw the explanation; I switched over to Firefox as my browser many years ago. This really is an easy switch. One advantage (besides better security) of Firefox is that it is open-source software and so techie-types love to write add-ons for it. Many of them are really helpful. -JeanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600547016363116211.post-21507855551526149042011-10-13T12:09:21.510-03:002011-10-13T12:09:21.510-03:00Diana - the pumpkins are eaten by livestock.

I was also confused because some blogs hide the comment until it's been authorized.

Now I'm rethinking my position again and questioning the good and bad aspects of all the platforms.<br /><br />Johanna - it seems any browser other than IE works! frustrating because IE is the automatic browser installed with PCs and most public computers use IE.

Such an incredibly beautiful day and lots of fun.<br /><br />Frances - I feel a bit the same way, these companies trying to corner the market on everything is a bit much.

I find that I can't leave a comment on blogs that have an Open ID instead of name and URL. Does that mean I don't have Chrome? It is all so confusing. I'd rather look at big pumpkins too.

Regardless, I hope you can resolve your problem soon. Changing platforms, although an option, is a lot of work. <br /><br />As for the pumpkins, I'm always impressed at how large some of these grow. Although I do wonder if they're remotely edible. I can't imagine even one growing here, it would have swallowed our entire squash patch!
