Down Under January 2014 | How to comment on the blog

Lots of friends and family had trouble posting comments on the blog so I thought I would offer a few suggestions. Here's how:

• After you read a post, look for the redish ink that says comments (it's a link). Click on it.
• Now you are at the comments window. Type your comment in the space provided.
• Next, look for the direction "comment as". This is the important part. Well no, your comment is what is important, but if you get this part wrong I won't see it.
• There is a pull down window. Click on that and you will see a number of choices. I think only two of these will apply to most of you.
• IF you have a google account, choose google. If you are not logged in, you will be asked to log in to your google account. Log in, then click "Publish".
• IF you DO NOT have a google account, choose "anonymous" from the drop down menu. Then add your name to the end of your comment. Finally click "publish".

If you want to get a notice when there is a new post, click on the subscribe link at the bottom of the comments page.

Packing tonight, and off to dinner with Allan and Gene. We leave tomorrow at 7pm, but heading out from Santa Cruz at about 2pm, arriving in Christchurch late afternoon on the 30th.

Happy New Year!
