Help Leaving Comments

Hello friends & family,

Thanks so much for your interest in my Mom’s life and blog.  A few people have expressed frustrations in trying to leave comments.  I have done what I can to help with a tutorial.  Reading her journey on her sight is really the best part anyway, so please don’t feel frustrated or stuck if leaving comments aren't working out for you.  Just send her an email.  They’re more personal anyway.  So here you go.  I hope this helps.  I think the main point to understand in leaving comments is that you have to set up a google account and be signed-in to leave comments on blogspot websites.

Love,

Cheryl’s Daughter Rebecca

If You Already Have a Google Account

Step 1 – Go to http://cherylower.blogspot.com/

Step 2 – Select “comment” at the bottom of the post that you would like to leave a comment on.  It may say “1 comment” or “2 comments,” but that is the correct button to select.

Step 3 – Enter your comment in the comment box.  Underneath the comment box where it says “Comment as/select profile,” select “google account”  from the drop down menu.  Then select "post comment."

Step 4 – It will bring you to the google login. (Don’t worry, your comment won’t be lost)

Step 5 –Enter your google email & password.

Step 6 - Your comment will appear again.  A verification box also may appear.  Go ahead and type the letters it prompts you to.  Then select “post comment.” 

Now you’re done J

To Sign Up For an Account:

Step 1 – Go to http://cherylower.blogspot.com/ and select “sign in” at the top right corner of the page. It will take you to the google login page.  You can also get to this spot from blogger.com or blogspot.com.

Step 2 – Click “Get Started” just below where it says “Don’t have a google account” and follow the steps to sign up for a google account.

Step 3 – You will now be signed into your blogspot account.  It opens up your “Dashboard,” which is just a fancy word for your home page.  You can choose to do one of two things.

You can go back to the browser and type in http://cherylower.blogspot.com/ once again.  This will take you to the full blog and show all the posts at once, but this time you'll be signed in.

                                OR

You can choose to “Follow” the blog and automatically get updates when you’re logged in to your blogspot account.  From your “Dashboard” select “add” under the “Blogs I’m Following” tab.  After you select “add” you just type in cherylower.blogspot.com. This will allow any new posts to automatically be listed in your Dashboard.  Just click on whichever post you would like to look at and leave a comment on.

Step 4 – Select “comment” at the bottom of the post that you would like to leave a comment on.  It may say “1 comment” or “2 comments,” but that is the correct button to select.

Step 5 - Type your comment.  There will be a box next to the comment that should have your “name (Google).”  That means that you are logged-in on your google account.  Once you select to “post” your comment, a verification box may appear.  Go ahead and type the letters it prompts you to.  Then select “post comment.” 

Now you’re done J
