For all of those who wanted to post to my blog but didn't know how, my brother who is studying web design wrote up this convenient instructions and even created images which I have posted below. Thank you to my computer savvy big brother, Nick!

Blogspot, where Brie’s blog is hosted, only allows users a few ways to be able to leave comments on blogs. The easiest of these options is to use a Google account.

If you have Gmail, you already have a Google account and can move directly to the second step.

If you don’t have Google Account I have outlined what you need to do to create one below.

Step 1:

Go to this URL: mail.google.com/mail/signup

After you are here you should see a screen that looks like image-1 which is attached to this email message.

Fill out all of the fields.

Important: Write down your login name and password on a piece of paper before moving on.

Try to type the scrambled letters in the word verification field, but if you don’t think you can get it right just do your best and then click the accept button at the bottom of the screen.

If it didn’t work you will be sent back to this screen with most of your information still in all the boxes, except for the password and word scramble fields. You will need to retype your password twice and attempt the scrambled letters again.

Keep trying to do this until you get it right, and after you are done you will have created your Google Account. Next go to step 2 below.

Step 2:

Go to Brie’s blog here: http://brieofthesea.blogspot.com/

Once there, pick one of her posts that you want to comment on and click the “comments” link at the bottom of the post. I outlined exactly where this is in image-2, which is attached to this email message.

After clicking on the comments link, you will be taken to a screen which looks like image-3, which is also attached.

Type your comment in the text box, and after that click the dropdown box and select the "Google Account" option. I illustrate this in image-4.

After selecting the Google Account option, click the “Post Comment” button and then you should be taken to a screen that looks like image-5. Type in your Google Account login name and password, (which you wrote down from step 1), or if you already have Gmail and skipped step 1 just type in your Gmail username and password into the boxes and click the “Sign In” button.

After doing this you will be taken to a screen which looks like image-6. Type in what you would like your name to look like for your comments in the box, which I circled in the image. Fill out the rest of the fields and next click the submit button and you will be taken to a screen which looks similar to image-7.

After you get to this screen type in the scrambled letters and click the post comment button and your comment should be on her blog.
