Fixing the Commenting Issue (how to)

 It appears I'm not the only one with the issue

of not letting me comment on other blogs (or even my own!)

without being annon or typing in my name and url.

I think I got it figured out so thought I'd share.

Up here in the corner,

you should have your little picture in two spots.

Like this

The bottom one indicates I'm signed into blogger.

The smaller one above it is where it shows that I'm signed into google.

I didn't have that smaller one when I couldn't comment. 

Do you see the 3 little dots to the right of the smaller icon?

Click on those 3 dots and this drop down should appear.

When that drop-down appears, click on settings.

That will take you to the magical screen that causes the issue.

Here is where I found my issue.

My search engine, default browser and start up were all different.

I'm not sure I've cured it 100%, but at least I can be signed in now.

I had 3 different default browser addresses listed

and no search engine selected.

Then in start up,

I made sure it had the google address.

Now when I start my computer, it asks who is using it

and I can click on my image and name and it signs me in.

If I did anything else, it was on accident, and I don't know what it was.

Hope this helps~

 

But It's a Good Tired

 You can find me in the garden ~

Well, this is a garden too, heehee.

Where to start?

I guess by sitting down for a moment.

I've been on the go.

Between work and regular home activities like

cooking and cleaning, etc. in addition to

getting the garden in and trying to clean up after winter,

it's been fun.

The summer kitchen is a hot mess.

I've somehow amassed a collection of items that require repair.

How does that happen?

I have just about everything planted.

I think there is one cuke waiting for me.

We've been eating radishes, and the lettuce is looking promising.

We have new planter boxes this year.

They are now all planted, but you wouldn't believe 

what it takes to fill each of those things.

Photo bomb curtesy of Ness as well 

as wood chips from filling the bottom half of each one.

I have a huge pile of pots to scrub but that's another story.

This past weekend,

we hiked 9 miles and equivalent of 74 flights of stairs.

We went back to our old hunting ground

which is where the first photo was taken.

We were looking for morels.

We didn't find any, but found 7-8 lbs. of calf-brain mushrooms

which are Hubby's favorite so he's happy.

We've been fortunate so far this year.

It's been a mild spring, and we've enjoyed occasional rains.

Last year, it seemed like the sun came out from its winter's nap and turned to triple digits immediately.

So, we are thankful everyday of this real spring.

This isn't a long post, but I wanted to let you all know

what was going on around here.

I need to snap some real pictures with or without 

feline assistance and share what's growing.

*Also*

I am having troubles leaving comments on blogs.

It says I need to sign into Google

which I am already signed into.

If I click on the button to sign in, 

it takes me back to the home page of my blog.

For some there is a drop down, and I can type my name and url.

Others won't let me at all.

I might try unfollowing and re-following 

to see if that does anything.

It really is discouraging.

If any of you know of a fix, please share in the comments.

It seems like there is something in privacy settings

that needs to be switched on,

but I can't remember what.
