How to Post a Comment Painlessly

If you would like to post a comment (and I love every comment) but don't want to go through the pain of registering with Google, there is an easy way to do it (as provided by my dear friend Peg (aka Puddles)).

1. At the bottom of the post you're reading, you'll see some gold letters saying 'X Comments'. X often equals zero (he whined). Click on these words--they will link you to a page with just that post, plus the Comments section. Go ahead and do it now--you'll still be able to read this on that page.

2. Once you get to the page, look below the post for the box labeled 'Post a Comment'. It's down below all the comments currently posted. Type your comment in the Comments box. It doesn't have to have anything to do with the post. "Hey Tim, this is Antoinette! I'm following your blog." would be a great post (Of course, posting that quote verbatim would be juvenile). Please include your name if you want me to know who you are (and I'd really like to know).

2. Below the comments box, you'll see a line that says 'Comment as:". Select the arrows on the far right of this column to pull down the pull down menu.

3. Select the last choice on the list: 'Anonymous'

4. Click on the 'Post Comment' button.

That should do it for you.

Now let's see all you lurkers out there post a comment. Surprise me with who's reading this stuff.

Your pal, Tim

The Comments line should be just about directly under the word 'just' in this sentence.
