Hi Bernadette, If you find the comments section in your dashboard (I dont use blogger but if you have problems finding it, let me know) you should see an area that refers to comments. You can have complete control over comments. Make sure you choose to moderate them before they go up online. (I would think that this would be the default) That way you have full control and delete or spam any that are not appropriate. However, in all my three years of blogging with students, we have rarely seen any inappropriate ones. The clustrmaps are great. Goto http://clustrmaps.com/, key in your email address and blog address. Click make my map.Look for code to appear in a box on the next screen. (There may be one step in between where you have to coppy some text and numbers) Copy that code. Goto your blog, login and look for section that allows you to add widgets. Add a text widget to your sidebar, paste the code in there and save.If this does not work, please let me know and I will lookat blogger and work it out with some screen dumps.
