To let Blogger remember your loin and password, have to allow cookies for the site. Using Internet Explorer, select "Tools -> Internet Options" In "Internet Options", select "Privacy" tab and click "Advanced". In "Advanced Privacy Settings" - check "Override automatic cookie handling". - Set "First-party Cookies" = "Accept"          "Third-party Coodies" = "Accept" - Check "Always alllow session cookies". - Click "OK".
