A quick update to let you know that the problems we've been experiencing with comments being posted on blogs and galleries seem to have been resolved.
As far as we can tell this was due to an error in some of the settings being used to block spam postings.
If any user is still having problems posting comments, please let me know.
Attached to this post is my first draft of advice for new blog owners and users to help them get started using and editing their blogs and galleries.
As always with these user manuals, it is very much a work in progress and will be added to and updated as the blogs develop. (it may also start looking a little prettier!) My apologies to experienced bloggers here who may feel that so far this manual only covers the very basics: I will be expanding into the more advanced sections in future.
I hope, despite the first-draft status, it may prove to be of some use to new bloggers here. I am always open to feedback and constructive comments on my user guides so please either e-mail me or leave your comments here.
