    How to Leave a Comment

    It's been brought to my attention that it's a little difficult to figure out how to leave a comment here on my blog. That's probably due in part to the way that the style that I've chosen displays the comments link.

    There are two ways to get to the comment page.
    1. On the bottom right of each blog entry, you'll see a link that says "X comments", where X is a number. Clicking this will take you to the comment section.
    2. Alternatively, you can click on the title of a post (here, it would be "How to Leave a Comment") and this will take you to a page with only this entry on it. On the bottom of the entry will be the comments that others have left. At the bottom of the comments is a link to "Post a Comment". Click this link.
    Now that you're in the comment section, here's how you post your comment.
    1. The white box in the upper right is where you type your comment. Type it in here.
    2. Under that box, you'll see a group of 4 radio buttons. By default the "Google/Blogger" radio button is checked. However, if you would like to leave a comment with your name, click the third radio button down, which says "Name/URL".
    3. Two boxes will appear beneath the radio button, one with "Name" and one with "URL". You only need to fill out the "Name" box.
    4. Finally, click the "Publish Your Comment" button.
    Your comment has now been left, and you can interact with all of the other folks that leave comments on this blog.

    I hope that this will allow everyone to take part! Please feel free to use this thread as a practicing ground for leaving comments.
