Comments tutorial

From Diana:

Several people have emailed their comments saying that they couldn't use the comments function on the blog.  I'm not sure why, although Blogger is occasionally flaky.  Just in case it's because posting a comment takes several steps, this is a brief tutorial.

To post comments to Blogger, select "Comments" at the bottom of the blog post, then select a profile.  I would suggest Name/URL  or anonymous.

If you selected Name/URL, you can just type in your name.  You don't have to use an URL.  Then click on the "Continue" button.

Type in your comment and click on the "Post Comment" button.

You will then have to type in the Captcha phrase that shows up and again click on the "Post Comment" button.

If any of the buttons or Captcha phrases don't show up, your browser may not support them.  You might try another browser or make sure you've updated to the latest version.  Or you might try waiting a few hours and try again, since, as mentioned, Blogger can sometimes be flaky.
