LJ commenting help

[rolanni]

Edited to Add:  Problem solved!  Thanks everyone!


The following, from a frequent anonymous commenter, arrives in email.  I know that there are ways to comment to LiveJournal from other accounts -- like facebook -- but I have no idea how that works.  For those coming in late, anonymous commenting has been turned off because Eagles Over the Kennebec is under a continuing onslaught of spam handbags.

The plea:

I'm willing to sign up for a LiveJournal account if necessary (I already have a WordPress one, if that will work) but when I go to "comment" it shows only "- this user has disabled anonymous posting." and doesn't let me switch the "anonymous" choice back to the list of ways to post (I remember Google was on there, as was LiveJournal). 

Do you know how I would do that, and can I use a WordPress login or do I need to get a LiveJournal account?

Looks like that worked, and LJ did give me the drop-down option. If that's not working, try foing to Livejournal.com, log in there with your choice of ID, then come back to rolanni.livejournal.com to commentonce logged in.

Yeah. LJ does sometimes make thongs difficult, doesn't it? :/

Thanks, this is what I did and once I created/verified/logged in to my shiny new LiveJournal account, I was able to post!
