I've had people ask me, "Hey, how do I leave a comment on your blog?" Hmmm…you want me to figure that out for you, huh? Well, I'll try. (Let me know if this is unhelpful and I'll try again.)
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. I think doing this also allows you to be a "Follower" which sounds sort of cult-like; it's not, but it makes the blogger feel popular. :)
If you don't want to actually write anything (or have to joint Google), but have some 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. It lets me know you are out there and have made some connection with what I wrote.
Also, the Labels notation you see are the keywords in each post so that if you want to see all my posts that have something to do with that same topic, click on the "label" word and boom! all my posts about, or mentioning, that topic 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!
