I'm trying to log in to post a comment on another persons blog and I keep getting the invalid username error although I am typing the correct username.
The blog I need help with is lalatyping.wordpress.com.
Need help? Check out our Support site, then
Invalid Username at log in.

In reference to Blogger 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. So if we have a domain or more than one blog registered under the same WordPress.com username trying to comment becomes impossible, unless the 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!

Thing is, the blog I'm trying to comment on is hosted by WordPress I think and to comment its required that I log in..but I can't log in!

I'll bet that it's not a free hosted WordPress.COM blog. I'll bet it's a WordPress.ORG srlf hosted install and the blogger requires a membership log-in to post comments. Just post the URL please so I can verify.

Oh my word yes! I do get the .ORG when I click on the logo! Website is isaacdeitz.com
Thank you so much for your help!

You're welcome.

Any idea what I could do? I really would like to post the comment.

I don't know whether or not the blogger simply requires registering a WordPress.org username account, which can be done on the top right hand corner of this page (warning use a different email address) http://wordpress.org or if they requires some other registration so I can't help you. All I can say is check the site for instructions.
