A lot of confusion has been going on especially for new members about what is a comment and what is feedback.

What is a comment?

A comment refers to a particular blog post or article. You should be concise in regards to the actual topic.

Suggestions on what you could write: why you found the post interesting; what you may have learned, maybe add something personal e.g. your experience with the product/recipe, etc.; challenges you may have had with the product.

You can ask the author a question. That way he can respond and shows his reader that he takes his audience seriously. As mentioned before, it is an excellent way to add content to one's blog.

Please keep in mind, what kind of comments you would like to get on your website. Think about it and write your comments accordingly.

What is a feedback?

A feedback feature is a different tool here on WA. It is about giving feedback about the website in general. So the person who gives feedback would talk about the layout, menu, widgets, post length, images, etc. The aim is to provide constructive criticism, so the founder of the website can make improvements to make his site more appealing to his audience.

I think it is great you did this. Unfortunately, good comments are an issue and people that criticise often forget there are new members learning here and what seems obvious to many of us is completely new to them.:) ~Gina

Hi Gina, that was one of the reasons I created the training. When I started as a Newbie and used the site comments platform. I didn't know that I can change the websites and thought I have to comment on every single one of them. It also took me ages to discover the 'edit my interest' feature. Little things like that, that make a huge difference.
So I hope, more people will find my tutorial.:-)
Best,
Anke

Hi there, Trish, I know that there are sometimes issues with the system when you try to submit your comment.(as mentioned in the tutorial) I experienced problems myself. It can be very annoying when you put a lot of effort and time into writing the comment.
I am not exactly sure what happened in your case. I would try and type your comment directly into the site comments form. You can download Grammarly (as the free version) in your browser to check for spelling etc. Saves the copy and paste process.
If the URL has changed, because the site has changed (your screenshot) then your comment for the other site can't be submitted. Once the new site pops up, you can't go back to the previous one.
I hope it makes sense. Please let me know how you get on.
Cheers Anke

Yupper Anke, I figured the boo-boo with not being able to submit the first comment ... but not what changed the website that was showing when I came back to submit the comment.

Also tested signing onto WA using my tablet that is the ONLY device I own with Google Chrome loaded on it. Personally I do NOT like Google Chrome. I prefer Firefox. Anyway ... I went through the whole thing again ... this time WITHOUT my two monitors to work from ... and the silly comment I submitted wanted MORE info so I chatted on about how the form I was using is NOT browser compatible ... then that wasn't enough so I said I did not like having to type with one finger ... and FINALLY the stupid comment went.

So ... this definitely appears to be ANOTHER browser compatibility issue ... ggrrrrrrr. Oooh well.

Thanks for caring! {{{HUGS!}}}
