How To View And Submit Comments
The meat of this blog is in the comments.Each blog post (article) here has comments below it and you can read these by clicking on the "Comments" link at the bottom of each post. In the first post of this blog (July 8) there are over 100 comments and they really pay tribute to my brother. By viewing and submitting posts we are creating community.
Please leave comments by clicking on the "Comments" link at the bottom of each post (just like above) and at the bottom you'll see a form to fill in your comments. I suggest writing them in a text editor and pasting them into the article. This way if the "submit" doesn't go well, your comments are not lost. There is a CAPTCHA at the bottom (to prevent spam - its where you enter numbers and letters) and sometimes it takes two tries.
We look forward to reading your comments. Leave one now!-
