But you are using a MAC blog program, correct? Or did you program the blog page yourself?
If the blog uses PHP, you would need to ask this question in the PHP forum.

If you want a system (regardless of platform or IDE) that allows comments to be stored, and then incorporated into a page, you are developing a "server-side" application.
You have to have some means of storing sumbitted content. That usually means a database. You have to have a language that can talk to the database, and output HTML. That means PHP, ASP, ASP.NET - one of the server-side languages.
You can do your work on a PC or Mac, doesn't matter, but FC Jamison is absolutely correct: you need to learn a server-side programming language, and I echo his recommendation for PHP.
