How to comment

First, I would like to say that I am quite pleased with the number and frequency of comments that we receive. But several people have indicated to me that they would like to leave comments, but are unsure how to do so.

Voila, step-by-step instructions:

1. The way to leave comments is to click on the little phrase that tells how many comments have been left. This is at the lower right of each post.

2. Once you click on that phrase (ex. “4 comments”), a new window will open. If others have left comments, you may need to scroll down past those until you see a box that says “Leave Your Comment.”

3. Write your comment in this box. Or buy your comment online from a comment mill, if you are too lazy. (There is a limit to how long your comment can be – a couple of sentences or a paragraph is great, an essay is not)

4. Underneath said box, you will be asked to choose an identity. The easiest way to handle this is to click the bubble next to “other.”

5. Once you’ve selected “other,” two boxes will pop up on that same window. You will be asked to write your name in the first box. Write as much of your real name as you want (first names alone are fine) or make up pseudonym. Leave the second box blank.

6. Click the blue “Publish Your Comment” button (If you click "Preview your comment," the preview might look like your comment has already been posted, but you'll still need to click the blue "Publish Your Comment" button underneath your comment). Your comment might take a few minutes to show up, but soon all will be able to read your brilliant thoughts!
