Sadly, despite how often we rely on technology, technology often fails us. Like right now: for some reason, Blogger thinks I’m not signed in, and so I can’t leave comments on peoples’ blogs!
As one can see, Blogger is acting like I’m not signed in, which is weird, since I’m signed into my Google Account on two different Safari pages, along with Blogger and Google Docs. I didn’t get to publish any feedback comments last week since I ran out of time to try to troubleshoot, but I suppose this week I have no excuse. At least I get extra credit from it.
So, my first step. I’m going to try to close all the tabs and log out of my Google accounts, then sign back in. Let’s see how this works.

And that didn’t work at all.
Now for the next step: trying to clear out my web browser’s cache. I have a Mac laptop, so I use Safari most of the time, including for the page I specifically have open all the time for this class. Hopefully doing this won’t erase all my history, as I’ve done in the past…..
Well, that didn’t do anything either.

This is a very weird issue. If I click on someone’s link to their comment wall, it tells me I need to sign in.

But when I click on the “Sign In” link, it automatically directs me to my home page on Blogger, no sign in required.
Well, one last thing I can try: using a different web browser. I prefer to use Safari for most everything I do, but I have Chrome installed because what doesn’t work with Safari usually works with Chrome.

Well, that worked! Hopefully it’ll keep working in the future (and I’m still not sure why Safari suddenly decided to be annoying), but for now I can prove to everyone that I’m trying to provide feedback!

Ha! This is awesome. With your inclusion of all of the memes and graphics, it was almost like I was reading a story here itself. I haven't had any problems with blogger so far, but I definitely recognize some of your steps. Clearing out your computer's caches really can help streamline other processes too, I would recommend doing this again periodically. I am glad you got this issue figured out, but don't you hate it when you have to use a different browser? I don't know about you but I have shortcuts and autofills set up so that if I had to switch browsers I would really be slowed down. Oh well though. Whatever works.
