Blog Basics: Adding Comments
We've got a varied group looking at this blog. Some of our less techy friends and family wanted to know how to read and post comments. Even less techy friends didn't even notice the comments area (hey, dad).There is a different 'Comments' section associated with each blog entry. To read them, first find the link at the bottom-right of any post. It will look like this 0 Comments (The number, of course, indicates how many comments have been posted thus far... also, don't actually click on the one in this paragraph, find its cousin at the end of this post)
If you click on that, a new window will open. Read and enjoy.
Now, for initiates who would like to join the illuminati, you can also participate in the blog by adding comments of your own. This is pretty easy. Once the window is open, you'll find 3 sections beneath the log of everyone else's comments:
There is a large box for you to type in your text.
Below the text area, there is a 'Choose your identity' section. You'll be asked to either sign-in (helpful if you want your name to show up) or login as anonymous. If you don't want to go through the hassle of creating an online account, then you can simply enable the 'anonymous' option. If you login and create an identity, you'll be stepped through the fairly simple process.
Finally, when you're done commenting, you can click the [Preview] button to see what your comments will look like, or the [Publish] button to save your comments.
Other readers will be able to see what you wrote, so be nice.
OK, ready? The link you need to click on is right below this sentence, and to the right. Give it a try.

See? It's easy!
Hey. I think maybe I can do this, too! Thanks for the hand-holding-help for us "less techies." I wanted to tell you have much I LOVE reading your stories and especially seeing your marvelous New Life Adventures - as individual Travellers, and as a Family. I am drooling at the thought and visions of Colorado, this hot muggy Louisiana afternoon. But we're goin to the BEACH next week, so I won't feel too sorry for myself. Much love, ya'll!!

HELLO JANE! Thanks for dropping by the blog. We hope you will drop by Crestone before long. Harry called my cell phone last week as i was driving over the Rio Grande Gorge just outside of Taos on my way home. What a trip, interesting timing. Anyway, hope you have a great beach vacation, please linger in the water a while for me! Let us know when you head Pagosa way--we will plan to meet you. Love, kathryn
