2. Several options will then come up: Google, Twitter, Yahoo, Aim, Netlog & OpenID. If you have an account with any of those, click the button of that service.
~~~ If you do not have an account with any of these networks, you will need to choose one and create an account.
3. Log into that account and then you will be given the option to follow the blog publicly or privately, and what name/photo you would like to use. When you see a screen saying "Congratulations, (your name) You are now following dragonfly in the kitchen", you are following the blog.
A few brief notes about comments:
*I love receiving comments from my readers, and most of the first year anonymous comments were allowed (I did change that briefly during our giveaway). However, after a recent trend of comments that are thinly veiled attempts to post links on my pages, I have set comments to registered users only and I will continue to mediate all comments.
*Also, it should be noted that comments made around/during the Blogger outage of May 11-13 may have been lost (Blogger says that they are working to restore them).
* I moderate all comments, and that may sometimes delay your comment while I research my response to your statements or questions.
*I will not post comments with ads, links to unknown sites, etc. If you include a signature url in your comments, your comment will probably not be posted. When I established this blog, I debated the issue of whether to allow my host to run ads in the margins, which would allow me to generate a small amount of revenue. In the end, I decided that this blog is about my journey to organic, all-natural food, and that my message would suffer by allowing commercial advertisement. Since I will not allow advertisement that would compensate me, I will most certainly NOT allow your SPAM, especially for inferior products that contain the very ingredients that I am working so hard to avoid. While I am willing to review whole, organic ingredients, my opinion is not for sale, and I will post my honest thoughts about your product. (I will not be paid for my opinion, beyond receiving a sample of the item). Thank you for your understanding.
