How can I delete a comment on my blog?

You must be signed in to delete a comment on your blog.

You can delete a comment on your blog in two ways:

  1. Find the entry that the comment was made about by searching through your blog.
  2. Once you have found the entry, you can delete the relevant comment by clicking on the title of the blog entry that the comment was made about. Scroll to the bottom of the entry where you will see a section marked 'Large comment iconComments'.
  3. Find the comment you want to delete. Click on the 'Delete comment' link in the bottom right of the comment.

If you do this, the comment will be permanently deleted, and you will not be able to recover it. (If you no longer wish to delete the comment, click on the 'Return to entry' link which will take you back to the entry without deleting the comment.)
  5. You should now see a message saying "Comment successfully deleted. Redirecting to your entry". You should be automatically redirected to the entry. (If this does not happen immediately, click on the 'entry' link which will return you to the entry.)
