In honour of some of my friends and family members who are new to this blog thing, I thought I’d clear up some questions about the “comments” process. If you’re on the home page, you can either click “read more” at the bottom of a post or ” # comments” beside the title to bring you to the comments screen, where you can see what others have said about the post, or leave your own message. You are welcome to be anonymous, or you can choose “Name/URL” and leave your first name, initials, whatever, and your website if you have one.When you hit “Post Comment”, your message is sent to me to publish or reject. So far, I have only hit the “reject” button once, because one of my friends used Frannie’s real name before the whole pseudonym announcement. I don’t find this type of blog leads to too many inappropriate comments, but one can never be sure.
In case you’re wondering if there is any point taking the time to share your thoughts, I do check for comments regularly (okay, somewhat obsessively), and get that little “Yay! I’ve got mail!” kind of feeling when I find something there. Plus, it makes a blog much more interesting when people can add to, question, and challenge the ideas being presented.
So, go ahead! Pick a post and tell us what you think about it!
