How to add a comment to the blog
I have decided to add this page as I have had a number of people wanting to add a comment to the blog but it is something they haven't done before. Hopefully this will act as a simple 'How to' guide.
Let's use the blog entry from the 12th October, 2009 as an example. To start with, you will need to click on the comments link, which I have circled in the screenshot below:
When you have clicked on the link, you will see the screen below, with the area for typing in your comment:

After you have done this click on the 'Continue' button.

To preview your comment there is a 'Preview' button for you to click on. If you are not happy with what you have typed click on the 'Edit' button.
Finally type into the 'Word verification' box the word that appears on screen. In this case it is 'fatowd'
After you have posted the comment, an email will be sent to the author to moderate the comment before it can be displayed underneath the blog entry you have commented on.
