How to Comment
These detailed guidelines are intended to provide step-by-step instructions for users that may be unfamiliar with blog commenting.
- Each entry on the blog is called a “post.” At the bottom of each post, there is a link next to the word “Comment.” (It’s a number that changes depending on the number of comments on that post.)
- Click on the number, next to the word “Comment.”
- You should see “Leave a Reply” and “You must be logged in.”
- Click on the linked text on “logged in.”
- Type in your user name and your password.
- A dialogue box should appear where you can type your comment.
- When you’re finished, click “Submit Comment.”
“Reply”
- You can reply to the original post or you can reply to a comment, by clicking on the word “Reply.”
- If you’re replying to another comment, you’re responding more to that comment than you are to the content of the original post.
“Like” or “Dislike”
- In addition to commenting, visitors to the site can post reactions to other people’s comments by clicking on the “Like” or “Dislike” buttons at the bottom of each comment.
- Typically, this indicates that you “like” or “dislike” the content of the person’s comment, not the person.
