How to leave a comment on our blog posts

Good morning blogfans! 
Given the recent paucity of comments on our posts, which we work very hard to bring you for your entertainment and enjoyment, we thought perhaps there might be some technological glitches preventing you from posting. So in the interest of being as helpful as possible, we thought we'd post a brief tutorial reminding you, faithful readers, of how simple it is to leave us a comment, a note, a reply or a question. 

Below each post, you will see a link indicating how many comments there are and a kind request asking you to click to comment. 
Just click that blue text to leave your comment. 

When you do, you will see a new window open that looks something like this:
  1. In the top box you can leave your text.
  2. Then there is that funny looking word that you have to type in the box below - this is just to make sure you're not a computer spammer. Sorry to have to do that to you, but it's what prevents random comments selling drugs, websites, and other things we're really not interested in. 
  3. Below that you sign in, if you have a Google or Open ID account already. If not, you can click "Anonymous" and your comment will show up without any name associated with it. (In that case, please make sure the text you type does include your name, so we know who you are!)
  4. Finally, click the ORANGE publish button (or you can preview it first if you want, but if you do you still need to publish it, or it will be lost!), and you're good to go. Once you refresh your page, you should see that the number of comments on that post has increased. 

See, that's not that hard, right? We thank you in advance for your contribution to our blog. 

Sincerely, 
The World Wide Wards

LOL. I'll try to be a better commenter now that I'm back in town.

OK, so those of us who are road kill on the information superhighway, as in your loving cousin Reeny, read the blog with delight but haven't braved a comment. Truth to tell, I did try one time and it didn't work out so well - reread opening sentence. So, I'll try again, but I'll have to get my message points right before I dare try commenting on the content.

Thank you Reeny!
