How to use this blog - Comments

You will probably have noticed that blogs are usually less formal than websites. They change more often, because it's really easy to include new information. That means that a blog is usually more closely related to current events or changing situations.

Comments are a key feature of blogs that are not usually available on websites. Comments allow anyone viewing the blog to respond to something they've read with a question or a thought. People may be inhibited about making a comment but it's quite straightforward and, once you have a go, you'll feel more confident. Comments really enrich the blog, so we'd be glad to receive them (though you'll appreciate that a comment that is rude or likely to cause offence will be removed).

Every post is automatically marked with the name of the person who posted the article and the time it was published (look below this article to find this). Next to the time is a 'comments' link. Click this and let us know what you think.

>>Update 21 Jan 2007. To prevent 'comment spam', I've changed the settings so that comments are moderated. This means there will be a delay of up to a day before your comment will appear.
