Is This the Beginning of the End for Calvinistic Cartoons?

I felt like I was hijacked. What I thought would improve my blog and create more comments turned out to steal the control of my blog. Thinking I could set things back in original order I deleted the Google Plus profile and services only to find out that I have not only blocked my long-time friends comments, but the Google Plus subscribers are ALSO blocked. I have received a few e-mails letting me know how Google Plus won't let them comment until they join Google Plus. I am trying to find a solution, but it might take a while. Worst case scenario - I start all over again with a new title (which I really don't want to do). I will try to contact Google and see if they will help. In the meantime, if anyone out there has gone through this, or knows exactly what will fix things, then drop me a line at: calvinist12345@gmail.com
Abraham Lincoln said it best..."Blogging without comments is like living alone on Mars and throwing yourself a daily birthday party".
...it's a nightmare, I tells ya!

Somebody Help Me!

About a month ago I read how Google Plus would help my blog reach more people so I clicked on the thingamabob and kept blogging. A few days ago my "Recent Comments" widget was disabled and my comment boxes changed. I'll find my own comment giving the title of the post but, I haven't heard from some of my old CC friends in a while so I'm a little concerned. I don't feel I have the control I used to have. (A lot of this is certainly my own ignorance - I hope.)
How do things look from your side of the cyber fence?
I would love to hear from someone who is NOT on Google Plus, just to know I'm still being seen by others.
Would you be so kind to drop a line or two and let me know if there is no difficulty in commenting OUTSIDE of Google Plus?
Any suggestions would be appreciated as well. It's obvious I don't know what I'm doing most of the time but I would like to know if I made the right move. Thanks a lot.
