Join the Conversation--How to Post Comments to this Blog

Great! To post a comment:

Note that you should be able to leave comments "anonymously;" that is, without having an account with gmail, blogger or any of the other services listed.

1. At the bottom of a post--in the lower right corner below the last line--you'll see "X comments" (where X is the number of comments that have been posted so far).
2. Click on "X comments."
3. An open box appears, with the instruction "Post a Comment" above it.
4. Type your comment. If you have more comment than space shown on the screen--don't worry. The block will grow to meet the size of your comment.
5. When you're finished typing, click the Post Comment button.
6. The system might ask you to retype some words shown on the screen (to make sure you're not a spam machine writing anonymous responses).
7. Because the system doesn't identify you in that case, it would be helpful if you were to identify yourself in your comments, if that's something that's comfortable for you.
