This page is all about how to leave a comment on someone else’s post or on your own post.

If you find a post that is interesting, or that you may have a question, make sure to COMMENT.

1. The first thing you want to do is click on “leave a comment.” – this will allow you too write what you want to the person
2. Next, you can click the blue button that says “post comment”.

After that you’re all set!

Next, when writing you’re comment, you have some guidelines on how to write a good helpful comment to the person.
