Not everyone is familiar with a blog and how things work here so I thought I would post a list of frequently asked questions … answers, of course.

Do I need an account to leave a comment?

Yes.  Due to the large amount of comment spam. To leave a comment simply fill out the form at the bottom of the post. The more information the better, but blog etiquette suggests an email address at the very least.

What are those images next to each comment?

Those are called Gravatars. A gravatar, or globally recognized avatar, is quite simply an avatar image that follows you from weblog to weblog appearing beside your name when you comment on gravatar enabled sites. Signing up for a gravatar.com account is FREE.

What if I want to post my own entries?

Feeling creative? You will require an account to become a contributor. You can register to be a Contributor, Author, Editor or Subscriber.

• Editor – Somebody who can publish posts, manage posts as well as manage other people’s posts, etc.
• Author – Somebody who can publish and manage their own posts
• Contributor – Somebody who can write and manage their posts but not publish posts
• Subscriber – Somebody who can read comments/comment/receive news letters, etc.
