I love getting comments on my blog posts, so here is a quick explanation on how to leave a comment.
At the bottom of a post, click on "(number of) comments" to open the comment window.
The comments from others will appear on the left and a box to write your own comment will appear on the right. Type your comment in the box on the right.
I have set all of my comments to require a word verification. This is to prevent spam comments. All you do is type the letters in the word verification box.
Next, you will be given the chance to choose your identity. If you have a blog or Google (Gmail) account, you can log in using your email and password. People who have these accounts usually know how to leave comments and won't be needing these instructions. (These comments often have a picture or a link to that person's profile page)
If you do not have a Google account, you have three options:
1. Choose "Open ID" - I am still trying to figure this one out. Chances are, if you understand what this is, you won't need to read these instructions either.
2. Choose "Name/URL" and type in your name and website (the website blank is optional - you can leave it blank).
3. Choose "anonymous." This will leave your comment without a name. Of course, you can always choose anonymous and still include your name in the comment itself. (This way, I still know who left the comment)
After you type the comment, do the word verification and choose your identity, click on "publish comment." Your comment should be saved at this point.
Hope these instructions help.
Now go back to my home and post a comment!
