TO USE THIS SITE

1. COMMENT ON OTHER PEOPLES' POSTS:
You do not have to be a registered user to comment on messages that registered users have posted. To do this, click “comment” on the right hand side of the bottle-green panel at the end of the posting you want to comment on. Then type your comment in the large box. Make sure you also type the randomised coloured letters displayed into the word verification box (this is to make sure the blog does not fill with automated spam). You can also choose whether to sign your name (you can remain anonymous, use a nickname, etc.

2. POST NEW MESSAGES:
This allows you to begin a new topic, but you must be a registered user to write a new blog post. All you have to do is send a request to Jill Farrelly, and she will register you! Then you will receive an invitation to join the blog.

Writing a post for a blog is similar to writing an opinion piece or analysis in a newspaper or publication. Your post/article will then appear on the blog in order of date and you will be able to both read the reaction of others and respond to these.
