help linking back to my blog
-
Hi there,
This might be easy to fix, but I can’t find how. When I make comments on other blogs my name shows up in black and has no link attached to it. Other people’s names are in green and have a link back to their blog. I want this as I’ve just changed my blog to webpress from blogger and want people to be able to find my blog again through my comments.
How do I do that? How do I fix it so it links back?

2. How to make your name link to your blog:
Go into your dashboard -> users -> your profile -> then scroll down to ‘contact info’. In the spot where it says ‘website’ fill in the address of your blog and save the changes.
Now… when you comment here and on other blogs, your name will link to your blog. If you do this before you post your request for help, it will allow forum volunteers to be able to help you quicker since they won’t have to ask you for a link and wait until you come back to post one.

The linking of your username to your blog URL in users > your profile will only work when you are signed into wordpress and then only with wordpress.COM blogs. If you are on a self-hosted wordpress blog, it will not automatically link since there is no connection from self-hosted blogs to wordpress.COM, and there is also no link to blogs on other platforms.

eyesonthehourglass has a wp.com blog.
The linking works with the openID function as well. (When it works) -
I gave up on open ID. I signed up for a blogger account just so I could comment over there although I’ve only found two blogs I think are worth commenting on over there. Maybe 3.

True. I read a few, and the openID usually works, but for on one, I’m anonymous.
It usually works on other, self-hosted blogs though.
