erikacruvinel: sorry, my YM turned off.
one_blue_jay: No Problem
erikacruvinel: Veronica, let's try to customize.
one_blue_jay: I'm on that page
erikacruvinel: Did you click on settings?
one_blue_jay: Yes, I'm there now.
erikacruvinel: Do you see any "Access Control"?
one_blue_jay: No--but i do see "Delete Blog"!!
erikacruvinel: No!!!
erikacruvinel: Do you see Moderate Comments?
one_blue_jay: Sorry--that's my usual solution to computer problems!
erikacruvinel: You are so funny!
one_blue_jay: It's under comments--I think this may be the page.
one_blue_jay: Should I enable "comment moderation"?
erikacruvinel: No, that would make all comments be sent to your email, and you would have to approve them before they are published.
erikacruvinel: Do you see Permissions on the top?
one_blue_jay: There's a "who can comment" button, and I indicated "only members of this blog"--should I change that?
erikacruvinel: yes, change it to anybody
one_blue_jay: done
erikacruvinel: On the top of the page, there is a beige bar with Posting/ Settings/ Template 
one_blue_jay: Yes
erikacruvinel: Click on settings!
erikacruvinel: We are almost there!
one_blue_jay: That's the page I'm on.
erikacruvinel: Yes, then click on permissions on the right top next to email still on the beige bar
one_blue_jay: done
erikacruvinel: Under Blog Readers
erikacruvinel: Who can view this blog?
erikacruvinel: Change to Anybody
one_blue_jay: done
erikacruvinel: is there any saving buttom?
erikacruvinel: Did blogger confirm your changes?
one_blue_jay: There's was a message that popped up wanting verfication, and I when I clicked it--then there was a server error. I guess I need to go back to that page.
erikacruvinel: maybe, but at least we have found the place!
erikacruvinel: what is your blog url?
erikacruvinel: grammar something
one_blue_jay: http://wwwenglish140grammar.blogspot.com
one_blue_jay: http://www.english140grammar.blogspot.com
erikacruvinel: ok. Did you go back that page?
one_blue_jay: Yes--and I'm back to the pop up message "allow anybody/cancel"
erikacruvinel: I just got a google error message, nothing related to permissions though. I guess Blogger and Google might be having a little problem right now.
erikacruvinel: You need to save this change in permission.
one_blue_jay: So perhaps I should jsut try again later
erikacruvinel: So, customize, settings, permissions!
one_blue_jay: Thanks Erika--the hand holding is appreciated. I'll try again after lunch. 
erikacruvinel: Thank you for taking your time! 
erikacruvinel: I'm learning a lot too by trying to help participants.
one_blue_jay: Thanks again--bye for now!
erikacruvinel: Try again later, ok? You will get there!
erikacruvinel: Bye dear!
erikacruvinel: :-h
erikacruvinel: Blogger is undergoing brief maintenance. Just got this message
