Posting a comment 101 …

Many of you have asked for a little primer in leaving a comment. I just changed the format for leaving a comment to make it VERY easy. Hopefully I will not get a lot of spam, but we will try it this way and see what happens. Here are the steps.

  1. At the bottom of each posting it says a number and comments (for example 3 comments), click on it. This will open a comments window.
  2. Type your comment into the comments box.
  3. Type in the word verification as seen on your screen
  4. Choose an identity – if you do not have a google/blogger/aol account, select Name/URL. Type in your name. If you do not have a URL (which if you are actually following these lame steps – let's assume you don't have one. J ) leave it blank.
  5. Click on Publish Comment.

That's it – you did it! Okay, no more whining e-mails about wanting to be entered into the drawing but not knowing how to comment. I won't name names here – but you know who you are. I believe in you. I am going to post March's drawing tomorrow. So you have day to practice.

Happy commenting!

AOL users use the "aim" thing in red under the open ID section. Then type your screen name without the @aol. Then type in your password on the next screen that pops up. It should post your message afterwards--sometimes you have to do it a few times for it to work. Good luck!!
