  Lately, some of the readers of my blog are being asked for a user name & password. This is annoying for them and makes them give up on leaving a comment on my blog. Some of my readers are NOT being asked for this. Are there some settings I can change so that no one is asked for a user name & password when they want to leave a comment on my blog? PLEASE HELP as soon as possible!
  THANKS!!!!!

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

  A bit above my pay-grade – but check

  Dashboard >> Settings >> Discussion >> Users must be registered and logged in to comment – is that box checked? if so un-check it

  Then save changes

  You know what it is, I think I just realized… some of them are probably going to “feeds” instead of scrolling to the bottom of the posts where comments can be left. The feeds are up at the top and maybe people see those more readily, and they think THAT’S the place to leave comments. I wonder how to make it more clear. Some people just don’t know what feeds are, and there may be no way to make that more clear for them.
