  I have only the WordPress, Twitter and Facebook buttons on the login portion of my comments. I’d like to get at least the Guest button, and possibly Google and BlogSpot as well.

  Where do I find out how to do this?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You can’t. Unless Staff provide such a button I’m sorry it’s not possible for you to embed one.

  People who do not have accounts at WordPress.com, Facebook or Twitter can comment on your site if you’ve allowed it in your Discussion settings. See here:

  Try logging out of WordPress.com and looking at one of your posts’ comments box.

  I guess you’re right. I can find no way to get another button. Seems kinda weird, tho.

  Thank you.

  No button is required for those who do not have WordPress.com accounts. This page > Settings > Discussion
  Discussion settings is where you set up defaults for comments.

  Other comment settings has quite a few options, so lets explain them one at a time.
  1. Comment author must fill out name and e-mail – When this setting is on, anyone leaving a comment will be forced to leave a name and a valid email address. If the setting is off, visitors can leave anonymous comments. … http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/#other-comment-settings
