Cannot make comments on Blogger

If you go to a blog that is handled by Blogger, like this one, you may not be able to make any comments. You do not get any good error messages, but the text you painstakingly composed disappears into cyberspace.

If this happens, it is very possible that you have blocked third party cookies in your browser. How that is done in your particular browser varies, so google for "block third party cookies" and the name of your browser.

(As an example, in Chrome for MacOS, you go to Chrome > Preferences > Advanced > Privacy and Security > Site Settings > Cookies and Site Data > Block Third-party Cookies.)

If you want to make a comment, toggle the setting temporarily to off, make the comment, and then toggle back on, if you want to continue to block third-party cookies.
