Problem Solved!

A big thank you to Betsy of Joyful Reflections who was experiencing the same  problem as I was - not being able to comment on most blogs because I wasn't recognized as signed in to Google.

She wrote that she experienced the same thing.  She has been doing some marvelous sleuthing and found that she just needed to change preferences in Safari.

I went to Safari to experiment and unchecked the box above "Prevent cross-site tracking". 

Lo and behold that made a difference.  On my own blog page I'm shown as signed in and that continues on other blogs too.

Yeah!

Thank you to Marie of After 60 the Next 10 for being willing to change her comment selection to a pop up window so I could comment.

Thanks to everyone who commented hoping I resolved my problem.

One Year Ago

One year ago we were packing for a two week trip to Scotland.

The fall colors were just beginning there.

By going then we missed granddaughter L's 1st birthday.  This year we are packing for New Hampshire and will be there to celebrate with L as she turns 2.

Don't know if the fall colors will be as vibrant as when we were there at this time before.

But being with L (on the left below) as she celebrates will be well worth it.

And an update on my Blogger issues: unresolved.  What this means is that I can view all the blogs I have in the past but only a very few are set up that let me comment through my google account.  Most are not recognizing that I am signed in. The home page of my own blog does not recognize that either.

Blogger Sign in Issues Continue

Many of you have commented that you stay signed in to blogger all the time.  That was the case with me too.  In the last couple of months I'd discovered I wasn't signed in because my comments on your blogs wouldn't take.  The problem has only been getting worse.

In returning to my blog this is what I'd see in top right corner.

So I click on sign in and it takes me to this page.  I can post, no problem.

I click on view blog and get this again.

This means I can't edit portions of my blog from that page, like adding to my book list.

When I go to some of your blogs it shows that I'm not signed in and I can't comment.

If I comment on my blog it shows I'm signed in.  Some of you have this same set up and I can comment.

I'm so totally frustrated!

Blogger issues

For some reason, Blogger does not show me as signed in when I'm looking at my blog

or anyone else's.  

I click on sign in and it takes me to the posting page and shows me signed in.

It won't let me comment on other blogs without signing in.

Anyone else experiencing this problem?  

Hmm ... just realized if you are you can't comment here either.

I'll have to do some more research.  My first search didn't solve the issue.

postscript:
by commenting on my own blog it's showing me as signed in on my blog.  Now to see if I can comment on other blogs.

Well, lost the sign in again!

Frustrated!
