"How-tu" torial

How ridiculous is it that I am telling you how to post a comment?  Very.  But lots of folks seem to be having probs with that, so my lovely wife took the time to write a step-by-step to outline the procedure(I may have paraphrased or added to her stuff).  Here goes:

Scroll down past the post upon which you wish to comment.
Find the yellowish-orange "comments" with a number beside it (the number will likely be "0").
Click on it.
Write your comment.
Click on the "comment as" box, which has a drop-down menu; Google is probably the easiest if you don't already belong to one of the others.
Set up an account on Google if you don't already have one.  Just fill in the basics, and don't worry about the email address: you'll never have to use it.
Click "Preview" to see how your comment looks (I think it'll look great).  Edit or finish by writing the weird letters as you see them, to verify that, at least in this way, you are not a machine.
Click "Publish."  After the first time, you won't need to do all of the account stuff again.

Then, on the main blog page, go to "Options" on the upper right, by your follower/member name (why don't you have one yet?) and click on "Site Settings."  All you need do there is click "Messaging" on the left, and check "receive site newsletters." Be sure your email address is there, and you will automatically receive notification each time there is a new post.  How much easier and more exciting could it be?

Finally, please post comments!
