Commenting on the blog

(The several steps in this process are necessary to keep automated spam software from clogging up blogs and websites. Apologies, but that's e-life in the 21st century.)

At the bottom of each posting, there is a line labeled "Comments." Clicking on this opens several new items:

-- the "Comment" box is pretty self-evident. That's where you write whatever you feel like posting.

-- the "Comment As: Select Profile" box requires you to make a selection . Clicking on this reveals several choices, the best choice of which is probably the "Name/URL."
You can enter any name you want -- the software doesn't check on this. And the "URL" field only requires the form "something.com" No "@" signs, since the software is not looking for an e-mail address. The software doesn't check to see if the URL is a valid website address, so feel free to be creative!

-- after you've filled these out, a pop-up box appears with some wavy-looking letters that you will have to repeat in the field directly below it. This is a key part of protecting the blog from automated spamming. (The letters look like late 1960's lettering from the hippie/Haight-Ashbury movement, so I find it way cool to see...)

And that should do it. Please send me an e-mail at GotaJugl@msn.com if you have difficulties with this.

And thanks so much for posting a comment!! This is a way we can stay in touch with each other.
