Some advice for WordPress and Blogger

I have (or will) post this advice as a comment to your blog post, but all of you who have a Blogger (Blogspot) blog, rather than a Word Press blog, will not get my comment unless you follow my advice! So PLEASE READ!!!

General Advice: Try to use the blog as an opportunity to practice your typing, using correct grammar, punctuation, and spacing as you type.

Blogger: In order to allow anyone to post comments to your blog without having to enter a lot of password information, after you log in, look on the top and click on Settings, then on Comments. This will give you a bunch of choices, one of which says "Who can comment?" You can set it to whatever you want, but it's easier if you check “Anyone”.

Additionally, make SURE you go further down on the comments settings, and enter your email address into the box at the very bottom of the page so that you’ll receive my responses to your blog posts!

You can change the look of your blog by playing around with the rest of the “Settings” and the “Layout.”

WordPress: In order to allow anyone to post comments to your blog without having to moderate them (that is, without having to approve them), go to your Dashboard after you log in, look on the left side and click on Settings, then on Discussion. This will give you a bunch of choices, one of which says "Before a comment appears..." You can set it to whatever you want, but it's easier if neither box is checked. You can change the look of your blog by playing around with all the stuff on the left side of the screen.

Mrs. Frantz I got your comment and I forgot that we couldn't write like in a chating room I apologize....and I have a question about the assignment I see that it is six questions are we to answer them and it equal 250 words? or do we write as a essay to equal 250 words? I'am a little confused. Also how do we check out word count on here?
