    Instructions

    Things You'll Need

    • A browser
    • A Blogger blog account
    • An email address
    1. Determine your Blogger settings

      • 1

        Sign in to your Blogger account

      • 2

        Go to the settings tab. Click the link for comment settings.

      • 3

        Under "Who Can Comment?" select anyone. You'll protect yourself from spam with steps further down the page.

      • 4

        Scroll down the page and select "Enable Comment Moderation." You must give the email address you want the comments to come to for moderation.

        You can further prevent spam by selecting "Show Word Verification for Comments." This uses CAPTCHA to make the user type random letters from an image into a form before the comment is sent to you for moderation.

      • 6

        The final setting is "Comment Notification Address." If you select this, you will receive an email when a comment is published. This isn't necessary to select, since you receive each comment in an email to moderate before it's published.

        In the comment moderation email you receive, you have a link to either publish, reject, or go to the comment moderation page for your blog. If you only have one or two comments, you can click the publish or reject link right in the email. If you have many comments, you may choose to click the link to the comment moderation page on your blog. There, you can accept or reject several comments at a time.

    Tips & Warnings

    • Use an email address for comment moderation that you check frequently. Comments will not be published until you approve them.

    • CAPTCHA word verification is controversial because it causes problems for some legitimate users of your blog who have disabilities such as vision problems.
