A sweet reader just mentioned that
today
my blog does not allow you to write any comment to my posts
if you do not have any wordpress account!!
I didn’t change any settings,
so I have no idea where this is coming from.
I contacted the wordpress crew.
Hopefully it will be fixed very soon.

If she hadn’t told you, you wouldn’t be any the wiser
I had no idea this problem existed, as I always comment using my WP account. I hope the WP crew has a quick fix!

Yes, I’m so fortunate to have attentive readers, and I do hope the fix will come soon!

It could be the “prove you’re not a robot” part. I can’t figure out the middle letters-they’re very jumbled together. It took me 5 tries and had to go to your e-mail, which I feel is a bother to you. Anyway MAYBE it’s NOT my eyesight!

No robot came up, and this posted FINE. Goodness.

hmm, I’m going to test it again, maybe they already fixed the glitch, I doubt I’m the only wordpress blog affected with that

The WordPress team, thank you Bryan, came quickly to my rescue!
The thing is that last May, they changed some settings: if the email you use to post a comment is associated with a gravatar account, you will need to sign in your gravatar account to be able to submit a comment. It is actually as simple as that!
If some folks don’t know about this, I added it to the comment prompt, to be sure no one feels stuck. I do want to hear from ALL of you, wordpress users or not, everyone is welcome!
