How to Comment

"Comments" are different than "posts" on blogspot.

A comment is new text that a user enters that will be specifically related to a specific post that already exists. A link below the post leads to the comments associated with it.

Students get equal credit for comments and posts, all else being equal.

So, here's how to comment:

1. Read the post.


2. click the link below the post that reads "# comments," where # = the number of comments already made.. You should see a screen with any previous comments on the left, and a field for your comment on the right.


3. Write in your comment


4. Choose PUBLISH YOUR COMMENT


5. Your comment should now be published. If you return to the blog, and click on the comments link again, you will see it.

Often it's easier and safer, especially when writing longer comments, to compose them in a text editor or word processor, and then copy and paste them into the writing field. This keepts text from being lost and stops other kinds of less painful errors.

Don't expect all your formatting to be retained, however!
