How to Leave a Comment on the Blog

Some of you had mentioned that you were having trouble leaving comments on the blog, so I thought I’d explain how that works. Under each new blog post, there is a link that says “Comments” with a number next to it. This is where you can read any comments left by others and you can also leave your own comments. If you click on “Comments,” a box will appear that says “Leave Your Comment.” Type your comment into this box, then below the comment it says “Choose an Identity.” This is where you sign in so that people can see who left the comment. If you have a Google or Gmail account, you can use that password and username to sign in here.

If you do not have a Google account yet, it is free, safe, and only takes a minute to sign up. Just click on “Sign Up Here,” and it will ask you to enter in your e-mail address, create a password, enter your name, type in the verification word that it gives you, check the box to accept the terms, and then click on “Continue” at the bottom. Make sure that you remember your password and username for later. After you sign up the first time, you will not have to go through these steps again – you will just need your name and password.

We decided to make it so that people could not leave anonymous comments for security reasons. So, sorry to make one extra step with signing in, but this will make it so we can all see who left the comments on the blog. We have also set it up so that each time someone leaves a comment on the blog it will automatically send an e-mail to me so that I can review the comments before they are posted – this will prevent strangers from leaving any inappropriate comments.
