With only a week and a day left until the movie, can we stand the excitement? There are so many new interviews that I can't keep up anymore. Don't miss my new post about why.
Here is a gorgeous picture to get you through. Our next post will be the movie discussion!
See you at the movies.

Posting with a Nickname

I figured out one way to post with a nickname. You need to create a second blogger account to do it this way. When you go to post, simply click "use another account." I had to use a second email account to do this. Then, I clicked on my original invitation from TM. It brought up the page that lets me sign in to blogger and accept the invitation. INSTEAD of signing in with your first account, click "use another account," type in your info, and then click "accept invitation."
This lets you choose a second display name for your comments.
If you set up your second email through gmail, you can choose to have all your email messages forwarded to your regular email account so that you don't have to check two accounts to get your blog messages.

(I know there is another way that a person can type a nickname, but I think that the blog might have to allow anonymous comments to do it, and you have to type your nickname every time you post).

Very informative. Thank you. I think it would be a pain to type your nickname everytime but if people would like that option I could consider it.

Yes, good to know. In case I ever join another blog and don't want my nickname to be "runswithvampires" that may strike people oddly.

Thanks!RWV may I request your assistance with this? I just know I'll screw SOMETHING up

Actually, I did some playing with my own blog and even allowing annonymous comments didn't make the option show up on mine. So allowing annonymous comments wouldn't help anyways.

Sounds like a double email account is the best bet. Thanks for looking into it Betcha.
Really though Trisha, runswithvampires would be no more odd than a bumber sticker on your car that says "Honk if you love vegetarian vampires". Hold your chin up RWV!
