In Blogging:
Articles are called ‘posts’. And the newest one is always at the top of the page.
Anything you want to say regarding an article (questions, views, arguments, etc.) is called a ‘comment’.
How do I add a ‘comment’
Simply type your questions or comments in the box at the end of the article.
You will need to do the reCapthcha thing before you can submist your comment – this is to prevent computer generated spam from being posted.
You will be asked to fill in your name and email address (the name shows on the blog along with your comment. But your email address is kept private and is not published on the blog) and then add your comment.
Please keep your comments to around 200 words – comments meant to stimulate discussion or obtain information or clarification, rather than become articles in themselves.
