How to Add a Comment

Leaving a comment to one of the stories on the StalkerClan is not as easy at used to be.  Google has changed the process to eliminate computer generated SPAM that a lot of blogs receive.  The new comment system requires several steps.

As before you click on the word COMMENTS at the bottom of a story to begin a comment.  A form will be displayed where you can enter your comment.  You must also select from one of three ways to let everyone know who is making the comment, your identity.



This identity step seems to be the most confusing part of the process.  There are three options:

1. If you have a Google/Gmail Account you can select that option and enter your Gmail address to identify yourself.

2. You can select Name/URL to enter a name or internet address to let us know who you are.  This is probably the easiest and most used option.  ( See Below )  Don't worry about the URL blank.  It is not required.

3.  You can select Anonymous if you don't want anyone to know who is commenting.

For example, if you choose Option 2 you will get the following...



Regardless of which Option you choose regarding Identity, there are a few more steps to actually get your comment displayed.  When you are finished editing your comment and have selected your Identity you must Publish your comment.



You would think that would be enough but no, there is still another step to take.  You will be asked to prove you are not a robot.



If by some miracle you are able to get through all this your comment should magically appear on the StalkerClan.  Gosh, I miss the good old days on Zoomshare when it was all so much simpler.
