  I just want to be able to post comments on a wordpress blog. I signed up for a log in and even got an activate account email. I activated my account and was informed that it was activated. Then, when I tried logging on at the blog where I wanted to comment, it informs me that it doesn’t recognize my user name or email address.

  Are you referring to a log hosted by WordPress.COM?
  Or are you referring to a self hosted WordPress.ORG install?

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Please provide the URL for the blog in question in the form of an active link starting with http://

  This is the message I get when I try to log in: “We couldn’t find an account with the email (email visible only to moderators and staff) to log you in with. If you already have an account on Cotswold Tales, please make sure that (email visible only to moderators and staff) is configured as the email address, or that you have connected to WordPress.com on your profile page.”

  That is it word for word and it says ‘wordpress.COM’.

  Well, clearly you need to register with that WordPress.ORG blog.

  Timethief said: “I am sorry but we cannot help you here at WordPress.COM as that blog is not hosted by WordPress.COM”. The response on the blog when I tried to log in said: “that you have connected to WordPress.com”. If that blog is not hosted by wordpress.COM, why is it asking me if I am connected to wordpress.COM?

  This is the most unwieldy and complicated website I’ve ever been to. I have a blog at Blogger and it is so simple to post a comment – you can even do it anonymously. WordPress – whether .org or .com is not at all a good advertisement for blogging.
