Which Post Is Best For You?

When you initially set up your blog the default for Comments brings the blogger to a totally new page that looks like this:
If you forget all of the wonderful details on the card, etc., you either hit your back button, which means if you typed anything and forgot to cut it, it gets lost, or you say, "How beautiful," which isn't bad, mind you, but if you wanted to say something else it is lost somewhere, in my case, in la-la land.

You actually have 2 other choices you can now make so fellow bloggers have a much easier time of actually commenting on your creations. They are listed below:

Method 1 - POP UP WINDOW
Your blogger essentially gets the same thing as above, but in a separate Pop-Up window. When I get a Pop-Up window I first line up the image in the blog and then click on the Pop-Up again to bring it to the front. Then I drag it next to the card, etc., so I can look at the card while I comment. I have really preferred this in the past, and I am not sure about now, because now you also have:

Method 2 - EMBEDDED COMMENTS UNDER YOUR POST
When the blogger clicks on the comments at the end of your post she/he brings up another page, but this time the post section is directly below your creation and any other comments that have been made (Just like Typepad and some other blog providers use). It looks like this:

Now, you may be asking, why do I care. First of all, I have a ton of blogs I love and follow. The faster I can comment, the faster I can travel on to the next one. I love looking and I probably wouldn't blog at all if I couldn't blog hop and enjoy other people's creativity. It is such a learning experience for me. Next, I like comments too. Last, but not least, I think there are more of me wanting to travel between comments faster and enjoy the visit longer, if that makes any sense!

How do you CHANGE YOUR BLOG COMMENT CHOICE if you want to change it? Below is a picture of the area you need to access on your Settings Tab and instructions on how to do it. Below that are the steps.

STEPS:
1. Go to your DASHBOARD
2. Click on the SETTINGS Tab
3. Click on COMMENTS Tab
4. Go down to the Comments Form Placement section as shown above with the red border and choose which ever type of comment service you want your blogging friends to have.
5. Last and VERY IMPORTANT - Go down to the bottom of the page and on the right hand side look for:
6. Click on SAVE SETTINGS before leaving the page.

Please do me one last favor before leaving today? Would you please vote in my poll on the right hand side bar at the top and tell me which type of posting you prefer. I've changed my for now to the last choice, but I am not sure if I prefer it over the second one. If you still have questions about how to do it (I am not always clear in instructions), please feel free to click on the EMAIL ME in the upper left hand side bar on this page and I will try to be of more help.

Thank you so much for stopping by 'the blog' to look and share.
