How to Make a "Comment" on the Blog Entries

We invite you to leave comments on the entries, but only if you are comfortable doing so. Comments left on the blog will tend not to be lost as emails do sometimes disappear into the deep black hole of "old emails" on the hardrive. So, if you are interested, here's the skinny on how to make a comment:

1. At the bottom of each entry, including this one, you will see the word, "comments." Sometimes it has a "0" in front of it. This means there are no comments. If there's a number in front of the word, then that is the number of comments you can find with the post, i.e., "4 comments,"...four comments.

2. To leave a comment, click on the word "comment." A window opens.

3. Enter your response in the window.

4. Below your entry you will see a nonsense word, i.e., "k7ja4fy." This is blogspot's way of protecting the comments windows from spammers: it's a good thing. Enter the nonsense word, and...

5. If you have a blogger account you can sign using it and you know how to do this; but if not, click the word "anonymous" at the bottom. BUT, if you really want Lois to know who you are, then sign with your name at the end of your message in the window.

5. Preview, then click "publish your comment." When you do blogspot sends an automatic email telling us you have left the comment.

It's fun and a great communication tool.

Again, if you feel comfortable only, please give it a try.
