Comments please

Message to would-be comment-makers
Various readers of my blog have asked me to explain how they would be able to comment.
First point is that it doesn't cost you anything but a few moments' time.Secondly your e-mail address will not be revealed. Thirdly you can write under an assumed name. Of course I have never had to approach the blog from this angle but I am assured it works by those who have been successful.
At the bottom of each entry on the blog, there is a footnote which says COMMENTS. Click on this.
You will now find a box in which you may write your comment but first look at the bottom of this box where it tells you that no anonymous comments are allowed. (This is to protect me from ghastly messages.)
If you already have a Google account, type in your e-mail and password. Write your comment and at the bottom click on POST it and it should work.
If you haven't already got a Google account, click on Obtain... Put in your e-mail address and invent a password of 8 characters for yourself which you will remember and use for this activity only. You may write under an assumed name
eg High flyer/crustacean,disgruntledof/optimist, donethat/the joker (this could be a new party game? I know our quiz contenders found naming their team the most taxing part of the evening!). It is all there with boxes to fill in. Once done you may write your comment and POST/PUBLISH it by clicking on the orange tab below the box.
I may live to regret this posting of information but it is worth the risk to find out how many people actually look at the blog and whether I should carry on.It could be a waste of cyberspace. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
