How to delete Anonymous Comments from your blog posts blogger Clean out your Spam Folder! Quick Tip

Today I wanted to share a quick video and step by step instructions on how to delete unwanted comments from your blog posts. There are 2 ways to easily remove them and 1 way to prevent them.

And how to clean out your blogger SPAM folder.

Sometimes Anonymous comments are left on blog posts that usually contain a bad link like this:


Or say you are having a giveaway and it is one entry per person and someone does this:

comment 1:
Thanks for the fun giveaway
comment 2:
Sorry! I forgot to include me email

This can make your comment count inaccurate.  

I hope the video and step by step instructions can help you to remove them.

I have also included a way to clean out your SPAM folder in blogger! Did you know you have one of those??

 

Two ways to delete comments from blogger:

Log Into Blogger

on  your homepage/dashboard

Click down arrow by notebook

Click Comments

Check the box on the comment you want to remove
Delete

This will remove the comment completely from your blog post.

While you are in this area... Look to the left


Click on the spam and see what comes up...
(These comments in your Spam folder are not published on your blog posts)

If it is a blog friend that you know, chances are they left you these comments from an Ipad or Iphone
You can click the comment and select not spam and this will post it to your blog post.

Or if it is bad comments with bad links you should delete them from here and they will never be published and will be gone.


Or

Click on the post

Hit comments

When you see the comment you should see a trash can

click on it

Click REMOVE Forever first

Then delete the comment



To put an end to the Anonymous comments forever:

Dashboard
Settings
Posts and comments
Who can comment?
Click Registered User

Or

click comment moderation and you decide what gets published and what doesn't


Some quick tips:
Never click on the links in Anonymous comments
Never include your complete email address, always add spaces

I hope you enjoyed my quick tip!
