Blair Kapp asks: How do you delete a comment from a blogspot blog, and what is the best way to add a "contact me" area on my blog?

First, to delete a comment from your blogger blog:

1. Navigate to the comment you want to delete.


2. Click the trashcan icon.


3. Click Delete comment to remove the comment and replace it with a short message that the comment has been deleted. Or, if you'd rather remove all traces of the comment, select "Remove comment forever" and then click Delete comment.

If you are unable to see the trashcan icon, first make sure you are logged into blogger and then refresh your screen a few times (F5 or the refresh icon). If refreshing your screen does not work, try clearing your temporary internet files and/or viewing history.

As for the "contact me" area of your blog, you can approach this several different ways. The easiest way would be to add a text page element titled Contact me with a brief blurb that includes an email address. You could also write a post with your contact details, then directly link to that post via an html link or image button in an html page element. That link could also go straight to a custom made "contact me" form that resides on a page outside your blog. It all depends on what works best for you.
