How to...

...leave a comment.

I am visiting my family this weekend and a few family members and friends have mentioned that they read my blog (along with those of my mom and sister) but haven't quite figured out how to leave a comment! To me, comments are one of the best parts of blogging, so it is a shame to have readers that can't comment. So here are instructions on how to comment if you are not already a "blogger" user. When you click on "comment" at the end of a post you are taken to a new screen. Type what you would like to say in the box. After this you must type in the "word verification" which is the funky lookin' letters that you enter in the box below them. UNDER the spaces for a user name and password in blue it says, "Sign up here." Click on that. Enter your email address twice, password twice (I would use your normal email address password because it is easy to remember), then you enter your "Display name" this is the name that you want displayed when you make a comment, and finally you do another word verification and check the "terms and agreements" box. Finally you click "Continue" and you are finished! After you complete this form once, you are set. From this point on you only enter your email address and password to leave a comment. What's better is that at this point you are set to create a blog if you would like as well, but you certainly don't have to. The whole process probably sounds WAY more complicated than it actually is! It only takes seconds!!! So... leave comments - we bloggers like them!

ALSO, you will need a user name and password to sign in to the blogs that are "private" as my mom's is and Megan's is, and mine is about to be! So I encourage every reader to go create a user name and password.

Hope this is clear as mud! If you need any more help, let me know!
