Okay, so I can stop blaming myself ;-). FYI, I have tried using just the Name/URL option and that also fails.

In reference to Blogger ie. commenting on blogspot blogs the issue is on the other end. Blogspot software assumes we all have a single username here at wordpress.com and only a single blog by the exact same matching name. It will not accept any other URL - invalid URL! it says. Ha!

So if we have a domain, or we have more than one blog registered under the same WordPress.com username, trying to comment and have it link to our wordpress.com blogs becomes impossible, unless the blogspot blogger chooses to enable commenters to post with a username and URL on their Blogger blog.

The only workaround is to register a Blogger blog which will allow you to comment but your username will not be linked to your WordPress.com blog when you do. Then you are labeled as a 'no reply blogger'. It's crazy-making!

Open ID has always failed more often than it has worked.

Bottom line: This is a well known issue. If you simply use the Name/URL option when it's provided then your blog will be linked to your username on the comments you leave on blogspot blogs.

It doesn't matter if I use my WP info, go anonymous, or type in my name and URL - after I type my comment and hit Enter, the comment disappears. It doesn't end up in the blogger's spam folder - it doesn't end up anywhere. It's not a huge deal, but it would be nice to comment on my friends' blogs.

Thanks!

I can most certainly assure you that I did not join WordPress with any intention whatsoever of violating their terms of service.

When I joined WordPress offered an option which allowed me to link my blogspot posts to WordPress and I did so in complete good faith.

If it is known by WordPress that by linking the two accounts that search engines would classify my posts as "spam" it beggars the imagination that WordPress would offer to link the two accounts to begin with.

I had hoped my inquiry would solicit positive and constructive responses and look forward to input from others.

a) shooting yourself in the foot, because search engines have obviously detected this and rightly classify this as spam. The best way to get lots of views is to have one website, rather than to replicate a technique developed by spammers.

b) violating the terms of service here. Staff have said that if a blog here is simply reposting material originally posted elsewhere that it be set to Private, or it may be suspended.

Rather than redo all of my Blogger Posts on Word Press I simply linked my Blogspot Blog to Word Press to post automatically on Word Press.

Word Press is a very popular site for Bloggers so I am baffled as to why the "Views" on my Word Press Blog are so low in comparison with my Blogger Blog: http://carljungdepthpsychology.blogspot.com/

For Example:

Since the inception of posting to Word Press I have only received 10,516 views while on my Blogspot Blog I got nearly 12,000 views just last month.

Blogspot view summary:

Pageviews today: 165
Pageviews yesterday: 400
Pageviews last month: 11,809

Could somebody please tell me what I might do to enhance the number of views I am receiving on Word Press?

Thank you.

We were unable to reproduce this - the import from Blogger worked just fine when we tried it without having to use Draft mode. Does your student still have the original XML file she used to make the first attempt? We'd like to take a look at it - it could tell us the problem right away!

If so, I'll set this up as an email ticket, so her information isn't compromised.

Cheers!

For several days she waited for an email confirming the import, and tried different things to import manually with little result.

She found that she had to make her posts in Blogger set as draft in order to export them properly, a Google Blogger issue. Still, can you check to ensure that Blogger is importing correctly and in a timely fashion.

Here is her post to me on the subject. http://gloriascullin232.wordpress.com/2012/12/02/for-lorelles-review/
