Commenting

So it has become apparent that my followers are a mix of family members, friends, strangers, and probably supervisors.  Through my mom, it also seems that some family members and family friends may be having trouble commenting, so here are the guidelines:

-Most important: If you are subscribed to my updates by email, you cannot reply to the blog post by hitting "reply" in your email.  The email address that is sending you the updates is automated, "noreply@blogger.com," not me, so I do not receive the replies.  If you have sent replies this way, I am sorry I haven't replied but they went off into cyberspace, so I never saw them!

-To reply from the email, click the link at the top of the email.  It should be the title of the blog post, in blue.  That will bring you to the post on my blog site.  Scroll to the bottom of the post and you will see the commenting area.

-Everyone: After typing your comment, please use the "Comment as" box to identify yourself.  Use the drop-down menu (clicking on the two arrows) to either identify yourself through an account you have (Google, Wordpress, etc.) or if you do not have one of these accounts click "Name/URL."  A box will then pop up with two spaces for "Name" and "URL."  You can just fill in "Name" and click continue, then continue posting your comment.

-If you have problems, use "Anonymous" if necessary but please identify yourself in the text of your comment.

Thank you! I know the commenting process is not the easiest, but unfortunately I can't do much about it.  I really appreciate having readers- family/friends and strangers alike!
