Posting a comment

One of the things we love about the blog is the opportunity it gives for people to comment on what we post, notably the children themselves.  But how to you post a blog comment?  Please find here Mr. Suter's step-by-step guide.

1. Choose the blog entry that you want to respond to - for example, if you want to make a comment about yesterday's Science activity, go to that entry.  Look at the bottom of the entry and you will see a link that says "0 comments."  That means that there are no comments for that entry at the moment, although you may see the numbers change and rise.  Click on this link.

2. When you click the link, the following window should open.  You can type your message directly into the box, or you can type it in Word and then copy and paste it into the box.

3. Once you have written your message, choose from the drop down box who you are going to comment as.  Select Name/URL from the list.

4. Add your name in the box, and your class - that way, when your message has been posted we know who you are!  There is no need to add anything in the URL box.  Click continue.

5. If you want to see what your message is going to look like before you post it, choose the Preview button - this gives you a chance to check your spelling and punctuation!

6. If you like what you see, you can click to post your comment.  if you don't, choose the edit button and make changes to your message.

Please note: your message will not be posted straight away.  Every message posted gets checked before it is posted, just to make sure that no one has said anything naughty that we shouldn't see!  You will usually get a message saying that it will be posted by the next school day.  However, once your message has been moderated and posted, it should be there for you to see.  Go back and click the comments box underneath the original post, and there it will be, for all to see. 

Now - get typing!
