So basically people other than Google users can comment and leave their blog address.<br/><br/>I managed to activate it by going to draft.blogger.com and logging in, then going to the comment section, applying my settings and hitting save.<br/><br/>Phew.... long sentence. Hope that works for you to! This is so stupid of Google.

Blogging has stimulated conversation but Blogger, by altering the commenting structure, has limited comments only to Google’s bloggers using the Blogger platform. Crummy move, Google/Blogger. See my post on this: Blogger Comment Changes Stink. Period.

I looked into it before I bailed on Bl... uh, Frugal. Users in the forum were very unhappy and not getting support. Also, you would lose all your existing comments. I suggest WordPress, and if you can't host it yourself, then WordPress.com . . . you can import all your posts and comments either way. The trick there is you'll loose your Blogspot domain.

Just join up and I'm pretty sure they either give you the html to paste into your template or else they do it for you.<br/><br/>Just peeked at the site, they have a blogger installation wizard and a recent comments widget too. lmao thanks antibarbie…

It's called HaloScan and it's a commenting system that works with Blogger. You can get those links back! http://www.haloscan.com/<br/><br/>Claire has it set up on her Bebo Author site and she's not a techie so I'm thinking it should be an easy install.
