It has come to my attention that some followers of this blog are having difficulty posting comments, so I'll be writing a short series of entries on posting comments here.
The first step to post a comment is to establish an online identity, or profile, if you do not have one already. This is a security measure to help protect our blog and our host. Our host, Blogger, needs to be able to verify the identity of those who wish to post comments in order to protect us from any malicious individuals out there who might try to post inappropriate material which might result in taking down our blog.
Establishing an online profile is free and easy. All you have to do is join Google or one of the other such entities. You could go to Google.com and just follow the prompts. After you have an online profile, you may choose to show your real name with your comment, or you may choose to use a display name. In either case, Google/blogger will know you are really you and will let your comment be published.
Please get an online profile if you wish to comment on our blog posts. We'd love to hear from you. DGC members, make sure you post as an individual and not as the club.
The second step is to be logged in under your profile when you post your comment. Remember, Blogger needs to verify your identity during the comment process. More about that tomorrow.
