Overcoming road blocks: Technological Problems

So the issues surrounding commenting on our colleague's blogs continues! As of today, people still were having problems adding comments to posts. After joining my own blog, I still continued to have the problem of adding a comment to my own blog as well. W.T.H. I just want my technology to work and I want it to work now.
So, I decided to bring in a consultant who knows way more than me: Google. Whenever I run into problems, I do a Google search to see if someone else has had the same problem. I'm hesitant to say always, but almost ALWAYS, there is someone out there having the same technological problems as me. And bingo! I have my solution.
First, I changed the Settings of my comments to only allow users with Google accounts to post comments on my blog. Next I signed out of my Blogger and then I cleared the cache (memory) of my Internet Explorer. I actually ended up Deleting everything-- page history, Temp files, forms, passwords-- everything. Go to Tools --> Internet Options --> Click DELETE... and then click DELETE again.
I then logged back into my Blogger using my Google account. I UNCHECKED the box to remember me. And VOILA! I am successfully able to post comments on my blog and others! YAHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! I do love technology when it works!!!!!!!! :)
