Did you know now you can post comments to the Chapter blog? You can! Comments enable you to interact with Chapter members and make the blog a more dynamic means of communication. You can create comments to answer a question posted on the blog, initiate a discussion, or share your input and knowledge with the Chapter.
Click here for an example of comments currently on our blog.
Posting a comment to the blog is really easy! Just follow the three simple steps below:
1. Click on the "Comments (n)" link for the post where you want to add a comment. The "n" might be 0 if there are no comments or, if someone has already commented it will show the number of comments posted. This is also where you'd click to read on the comments.
2. Fill in the required information that identifies you. Name and Email Address are required, but we will only display your name. If you enter a URL (for your own website or blog) it will be hyperlinked to your name. You can use your full name, which we encourage on a professional blog like this one - or use a nickname. And you can choose to have the site remember this information when the next time you comment.
3. Enter your comment in the big text box. Click on the "Preview" button to see how your comment will be displayed and (remember to do this!!) - click on "Post" to send your comment to the site.

I think you have a typo in the first step:
"This is also where you'd click to read on the comments." Perhaps it should be "This is also where you'd click to read the comments." Also, are the comments actually displayed, or are they embargoed/screened somehow? I would include a comment about that policy here. Thanks!

When I posted my comment, this message came up: "Your comment has been saved. Comments are moderated and will not appear until approved by the author."
I wonder if "author" means blog editor. In the case when Sandy or Wynne are the authors, posting under their own accounts, would the generic blog editor even be able to approve them?

The comments are held for moderation by the webmaster (whose account I have access to), which can approve and publish/delete/mark as spam comments.
