Just a quick grrr from me!
It appears that Blogger has decided to stop people commenting and putting in a link to their own page unless they have a google/blogger account. Grrr! My old blogspot blog is still live so I’m just going to have to post with that and hope people look at the first post that comes up there, which refers readers to here (does that make sense? I’m not too hot on grammar and punctuation at times).
Why does Google think it has to take over the world? First insisting on Google accounts to have a blogger blog, and now a Google account to be able to link people back to their blogs/websites when they comment. I’m not happy!

Actually, only partially correct. They have removed the ‘anonymous link’ option, while they are beginning support for OpenID commenting.
One problem, the OpenID feature has to be enabled at draft.blogger.com so most Blogger users don’t know just yet. Or know what OpenID is.
Your wordpress.com account is an OpenID, as many other services are.
So if someone has already enabled it on their blogger blog, or when it gets pushed out to the main blogger system so everyone has it, you can login/leave a link via your wordpress.com url. You can try it out using your wordpres.com url at my blog if you want to see how it works, as I have it enabled/ and a post up explaining how to use it.
