I've had a couple people ask me how to post responses to a post they read... I thought it might be helpful to others, too - so here are my notes.
To comment/respond to any blog post (that's what the individual "essays" are called) here's what you do:
1. at the end of the post you want to respond to you should see the word "comment"
2. click on that word and it will take you to another page
3. there should be a box for you to type your comments into; and a place to type your name so that it will be tagged to your response. If it asks for a Google or Yahoo account/name and you don't have one, just click on the spot for "other" and type your name (ignore the space for web-page).
Just ignore the "HTML tag..." stuff - it will print what you type.
4. so that my site doesn't get spam (hopefully) - I have it set for "word verify" so you will see some characters and a box below them to type in what you see.
5. once you are done with your response, just click on the "publish your comment" bar and you're done!
For any of the posts that you see a number next to "comments" and you want to read what others have said, just click on the word "comment" and this new page will open with the comments... (You don't have to type a comment to read the others.)
Also, if you want to respond to what someone else has said, simply type your comments in the box for that post - but address the person or mention the response when you do so others know you are responding to the comment and not the original... (clear as mud, right?!)
Once you do this a time or two, you will find it easier to do - it just seems complicated (I promise!).
By the way, this process is virtually the same on all blog sites - no matter who the "owner" is.
Blessings and happy blogging.
