How To Comment

I have several readers who have indicated to me that they would comment on my posts but do not know how to go about doing so. So I am dedicating this post to teach a quick lesson on 'How to Comment'.

At the bottom of each post, there is the word "Comment". 
Step one: click on the word "comment". (If there is a number in front of it such as 2, that means that there are already 2 comments. You can read these by clicking on the word "Comment") 

A window will open with a dialogue box in the top right corner of your screen (an area where you can type a message) that already has a blinking cursor in the top left corner. It the cursor is not there, simply click on the the top left corner of the message box. 
Step two: Just start typing your message (comment)

If you have a Google Account, log in with your user name and password. You probably do not have one so just ignore that message and you will find a rectangular box with a series of letters in it. Type those letters in the box immediately below the letters. 
Step three: Type those letters in the box. 

Now all you have to do is click on 'Anonymous'. If you do not put your name to your comment, you will indeed have sent an anonymous comment. If you want to identify yourself, simply put you name in your message. Example:  "Get off the pot, Terry"  your pal, Alphonse. 
Step three: hit 'Anonymous' 

Step four: Click on the big orange button called "Publish your Comment"  

There now, you are done. 

One more thing. There is a chance to do a quick response by clicking in one of the little boxes in front of the comment words at the bottom of each post. These are totally anonymous but they are fun. If any of you have suggestion as to other words I can put there, such as "immature" "insightful" "out to lunch" or "brilliant", I am able to edit that feature and I can add those or other words. Don't be bashful. 

Thanks for reading, and, now, for commenting.  :)
