Blog Comments and Feedback

Yesterday I was working on a piece of glass at the soldering stage when the phone rang. I answered and had a wonderful visit with Barbara, a favorite cousin. We grew up next door to another farm which belonged to Barbara's family. Barbara is a beautiful person inside and out, and has the singing voice of an angel. She sang at Maurice and Anne's wedding 50 years ago and several years later, at mine. Barbara was very encouraging about keeping this blog going and wanted to leave feedback but needed help to do so. Since she could not make the comment thing work, she called. It made my day.

So, I researched the comment process with HW2, resident geek. HW2 says, "Select the comment word under the blog and a box will appear where you can leave your thoughts." Then if you select the button for anonymous, it will be published after the article on the blog. Apparently you can also select the button that is "other" and it will lead you through the process of signing up with Google. There is no charge for signing up and you can select a pen name you would like to use. I use 1HW and others use the first initial of their name or another pen name like Sperlonga which is meaningful to them. This allows the commentator to leave messages but not reveal his identity. In these days of identity theft, this is a good precaution.

Hi, Sweetie! I am just trying to leave a comment using anonymous to see if it really works. If this appears, it does, and the rest of you can use it, too! Cheers! And, thanks, Barbara! I enjoyed writing that one about my grandparents!
