Posting Comments - a lesson from a teenager (ex)

Dear all,
a few people have had fun adding comments to the blog, so here is a small tutorial.

Having chosen a particular post to comment on - click on the green 'comments' link at the foot of the post.  You may find the comments already displayed, in which case just move down to the comment box at the foot of the comment section.  Type in your comment.  At this point I recommend taking a copy of the text you type - there is nothing more frustrating than losing that fantastic witicism to the vagaries of software! 
Below the comment box is a small box labelled "Comment as" with a drop down arrow. Click on the drop down arrow which provides options. Now if you have a Google / AIM or listed account you can select those options. If you use this I recommend that you have logged in prior to writing your comment!!  If you don't have such an account you can select "Anonymous" or "Name / URL" - put in a name that I'll recognise so that I don't delete your comment.  I tested with Name/URL (no URL required) and got a comment to review in my e-mail with that name listed - so it appears to work.

I hope this helps those who would like to leave their personal messages.  Still have problems - email me & I'll post for you.

Update
I'm at home on day 6 of Chemo 5, so blood counts are dropping & I have to be a good boy and avoid infection for a few days.  I have a short chemo session on Friday with blood tests and at this point we will see how I'm responding with respect to Neutropenia & blood counts for platelets etc.  I'll let you know more when I know more!!  11:48pm - time for bed - nite nite all.
