Geek blog Gizmodo has a new habit of making "how to comment" posts. I thought it was a good idea so I'm using it here. The Liberator blog gets about 10,000 viewers each month, but only a small fraction of those visitors comment on the site. And I've received emails from several of you guys expressing frustration at not being able to comment. I'd like to encourage more people to do so. So here you go. (Might re-post this periodically to ensure new visitors get the lesson as well)
STEP 1:
At the end of each post you'll see this footer below. Go ahead and click on "leave a comment".
STEP 2:
You'll then be taken to a page that looks like this where you can start typing your comment in the "leave a comment" field. After you've written your comment, you need to identify yourself.
STEP 3:
You have three options. In this picture below I've chosen to use my blogger/gmail account. You can sign up for a blogger account at www.blogger.com or if you have a gmail account you can use that login as well, and then click "publish your comment".
The second option is to use a nickname you create on the fly. To do so just click the "other" option, type in whatever name you want to display in the "name" field. And if you choose you can type in your website or your favorite website in the "your web page" field, but you don't have to if you don't want to, and then click "publish your comment".
The third option is posting anonymously. Technically the "other" option is anonymous also, but using this option you will actually be identified by the name "Anonymous". All you have to do is click the "anonymous" option and then click "publish your comment".
