What is a Blog?

A blog is a web site that contains articles with the most recent articles listed first.  Each article has a title, and at the bottom of each article is a bar that shows the author, and the number of comments, plus some additional links for sharing the article.


When the blog has too many articles to fit on one page, there will be links at the bottom of the page to view older posts.  Like this:

How Do I Add a Comment

When you are reading an article you are either on the Blog Home page, or you are on an Article Detail page.

The Blog Home page lists several articles for you to read through, but it does not include article comments.  The Article Detail page includes comments below the article.

To get to an Article Detail page either
  • click an article's title, or
  • click the "comments" link at the bottom of an article
Below the article, comments already posted will be listed, and at the bottom, a Post a Comment box is shown:



Comment box :
Type your comment

Comment as :
The first time you add a comment you will need to identify yourself in the "Comment as" field.  If you are logged into a Google Account, your name will be listed and you should select it.

If you are not logged in, click the dropdown arrow and select "Name/Url" option, then enter your real name, you can leave the URL blank.
