[Update: Instead of saying “No Comments,” the link for adding your comments now says, “Add Comment” until someone adds a comment.” Hopefully that will be clearer for everyone. :)]
Hey folks, some of you may not fully realize you can add your own comments on nearly any post/article on this site. 
Just below the end of an article, you will see a line saying, “No Comments” “Add Comment” or “3 Comments” or what have you. That tells you how many comments there are so far on that article. At the end of the article you’ll find the box in which you can write and submit a comment. The comment option is there to generate discussion. (though a quick, “Hi John. Just looking at your site” - or whatever - is encouraged too!) Only if you see, “Comments are closed,” are you unable to comment. For a regular article, though, comments will typically only close after it’s been posted for a month or more. By default, your first comment is held for moderation, so it may take a while to appear. (see the “Comment Policy” in the sidebar.) Thanks!

Thanks Jen!
Good to know people are out there checking in. With any luck we’ll eventually get most of two towns and a few people from who knows where taking a look and joining in.
As far as the web building skill goes, it’s been all perseverance, and almost no prior knowledge.
The Wordpress software helps a lot too.
See you around here!
-John
