A few thoughts on following the blog and adding comments. I should have done this sooner, but only recently realized that the process was unclear.

I have added a simplified subscription link to the bottom of the sidebar. You simply need to enter your address, and click subscribe. You will receive (in short order, I hope) an email that will ask you to confirm your subscription, and shortly thereafter you should be notified of any new posts.

If you should wish to leave a general comment (once you have subscribed and confirmed the subscription), you simply click the comment link at the bottom of the page, and create your comment in the space provided. If you wish to comment on a specific post just click the comment link directly below the post title and leave your thoughts.

I have (thus far) created very liberal comment policies. However, there is always an expectation that comments would be both appropriate and inoffensive (in terms of language and content). Constructive criticisms of my posts is always welcome.
