Here's what I think you do: At the end of each post there's a gray box that looks like this:
See where it says No comments: ? It says that because no one has posted a comment. (If someone does post a comment, it will say how many comments.) To post a comment just click on the words No comment (or 2 comments or whatever) and it will open a box for you to write your comment, hit "post" and then your comment will be sent to me for review (so I can weed out the ones I don't like hahahahaha) and I will post it (promise) and there ya have it!
The caveat is that if you don't have a "google account" or something, it will ask you to create one. I avoided this for a long time when looking at other blogs, but then finally I just did it and my world has not shifted off its axis and I do not get unwanted googling. I think you'll be fine.
If you don't want to actually write anything but have some vague reaction to the post, you can just click those Reaction boxes and there will appear a tally of how many people reacted in a certain way to the post.
That pencil icon is not for you -- it's for me to click on to edit a post. You may think I never use this tool, but I actually do. A lot. Like right now, I'm back in fixing a couple of typos.
Also, the Labels notation you see are the keywords in each post so that if you want to see all my posts that have some political content, for example, you would click on "politics" and boom! all my posts about, or mentioning, politics are at your disposal. Fun, huh?
Thanks to you who send comments via email too. I often remove identifying info about you and post those comments here myself to entice more discussion among readers. That rarely happens, but I feel sort of good about at least a couple of comments showing up on my post.
I hope this helps. Give it a try!
PS I have no idea why the banner heading on the blog has the text all crunched up on the left and no text at all across the banner. I have tried, believe me, I have tried to remedy this. If you can offer me a tutorial on fixing that, I'd appreciate it. In the meantime, I blame Blogspot.
At least, that's the view from here….
This is to let you know that someone, somewhere bothered to read this post. I liked the one of JFK better, but I still read this one. And I commend your assertiveness, explaining precisely how your needs can be met. (PS - you forgot to mention the annoying part where you have to retype funny looking letters, which at my age require me to put my nose to the screen.)
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yes, this was a weird post, but I've had several people try to post comments and later tell me they weren't successful. I'm just trying to be helpful. :) The funny looking letters part IS a challenge, isn't it? I usually get the first set wrong.
