General: How to add a comment to my blog entries

There has been some confusion about how to add a comment to a blog entry, probably caused when I selected the "anti-spam" option for comments, which I have now removed.

If you would like to add a comment to an entry, then you can follow these steps

• at the bottom of each article you will see a line saying "Posted by Mike at xx am 0 comments"
• click the "0 comments" link to add a comment.
• this will popup a new browser window
• enter your comment in the box provided
• you then need to choose an identity. If you are shy, you can click the "anonymous" link, or you can click "other" if you want to specify your name (in this case you can freetype your name, there is no need to register)
• then click on the "publish your comment" button
• this should then redraw the window with a comment at the top saying "Your comment has been saved"
• you can now close this window (there is a link to do this on the top left or just click the X)

The only other thing to mention is that any comment you make will be viewable by anyone in the world looking at the blog, so it is generally a good idea to not mention things like you bank details in any entry :-)

Hope this helps you to add your views and comments to my blog pages
