The final steps

6. When you want to publish it, go to the bottom of the comment and click on Edit.

7. On the right hand side you'll see a Status panel. The status will be Pending. Below this is a line saying 'Submitted on' followed by the date of submission. To the right of the data is an Edit link. Click on that.

8. You can now change the date and time of submission. Change the date to today's date (or an earlier date) and check that the time is either the current time or earlier.

9. Click OK then click Update. You could change the date to a future date but if Mr G comes along before then I suspect he might think that looks rather suspicious.

10. If you haven't replied to it, click the Reply link, type your reply then click Approve and Reply. If you replied in Site Comments, change the date of your reply, making sure that the time is later than the time of the comment.

Job done!

I hope you found this useful.

Hi Rob & Michelle - it seems obvious but when I got to that part of the training it took me a little while to get my head around. Throw in the requirements for writing a good comment and, while it's still not rocket scienve :-), you do have to know what you're doing :-)

Thanks, Susan. I'm still using it with my last bunch of comments. I think it's more natural.

Neat...gotta take a look at this. I thought though, that there was part where it asked how you want to get the comments...but maybe that is the old system...gotta check out the new system. Thnx for the heads up, though, Ian.

Hi Michelle - Do let me know if I got it wrongg! I wrote the comments steps from memory. I was going to go through it all step by step to make sute it was correct but I'd put off writing this for ages and didn't have any comments to run with.

LOL...I know all about 'postponing things' and 'perfection'...so I am happy that you got it done. I will let you know once I get around (postponing...lol) doing it...maybe later this week.

PS
I just 'bit the bullet' and took a few minutes out of my schedule to test it..yes, it was the old system. With the new site comments, you do not get the option to 'stagger comments'...so thnx for your tips.
M...again...LOL
(working on my procrastination part, LOL)

Ah, that would have been a very useful feature to include :-(

I'm quite busy now, looking for things I can put off doing :-)
