When I got to the location where I wanted to paste the comment, it said 'You must be logged in to post a comment. Catch 22.

Copy the email address, website URL (if included) and the comment it self out and into a plain text file. Log out of wordpress. Go to your blog and to the post where you want to put the comment and then paste the stuff into the appropriate fields and click save or submit or whatever your theme says.

Now go back and delete the original comment.

Easy peasy.

The Law and Motion part was a clue.

Warning duly noted thesacredpath. And I do understand where the line is drawn for techies. You guys are kept chained inside a cage in a fenced yard with a Beware of Techie sign on the entrance gate.

What I've done is decided it's okay to let techie roam free inside the cage ;)

Now back to the original question. i went to the dashboard. Saw the comment clicked on the comment and it took me to he edit page of the entire post. I don't want to move the entire post, just the comment.

I know I'm not easy guys but I'm worth it ;) learn to 'splain it to me and you teach tech to a monkey.

Again thank you for your patience and your technical advice and assistance.

A Law clerk, brad? Pretty intimidating, I'd say. Not as intimidating as a paralegal, but still...

You can listen to us or not, but if you don't, you can't say we didn't warn you.

Which way that would all go in a court is anyone's guess. It all depends on where they draw the line in the sand.

In fact if you know some of those loosely hinged whack jobs with money, please send them a link to my site. The operative words are "have money."

I totally don't understand the STRONG advice.

Copy the entire comment from your dashboard, including the email/URL info, then sign out, then go as an un-signed-in user to the place where you want it, and fill in the username and email and paste in the contents of the comment.

I STRONGLY advise you not to do this without the permission of the commenter.

I tried a simple cut & paste but it made it look like my post. I looked in 'Edit' but couldn't find anything. Am i SOL or is there a way to do it?

How you vent format wise, is up to you. Play with it. Short stories, a paragraph or even bumper sticker style like this old chestnut,"There's no such thing as gravity.The earth sucks."

Among the wonders of blogging is that you're not married to or restricted by format.You're already using video, audio and written word. That's almost too hip to be real.

There is a pinging thingy or widget that will cause a post to appear on a linked site within WordPress. I'll leave that one to thesacredpath or raincoaster or somebody else.

They're really the tech savvy first responders around here.

what input, for the moment, my page might not be envoking or anything, i'm just figuring stuff out at the moment.

i do vent, i vent in both ways, up front and in a fictatiouse way.
in the fictatiouse way , i actually put my vents in a short story, theres a reason for this, lol, i vent about work. will that work for ventamatic ?.

what happens if i register another blog instead of a post ?, will it be on my ventamaic one ?.

and again what great input

First, I love the name ventamatic. The name is an open invitation. It works.

Here's a tip after taking a second look at your site. It's kind of how imaging happens.

1. Your site is an extension of part or all of you. I'm in the 8th week. The first 3 weeks I focused on the writing style, the flavor if you will.for me I wanted get some humor into it. You might feel differently about humor and that's okay too.

2. Consider what "ventamatic" conjures or evokes in your mind. To me it's an invitation to share gripes. Jack Black on steriods. You might have a different idea and that's okay.

3. Your imagery, the sunflower, looking inward and your question, "Do you remember being held as a baby?" doesn't exactly invoke venting. Plus these are big questions. Deep stuff.

to me, your imagery, from Betty Boop to the sunflower and the question don't invite me to vent or participate.The question does but no I don't remember, so what I did I do? Moved on. Then I saw the sunflower and I thought,"Well hope you enjoy the view." and I looked for something else.

Deep stuff involving big questions will get a niche following. If that's what you're looking for you're doing fine. It has an eclectic kind of appeal working.

3.b. Have you ever been in a long line inside a bank and just when it's your turn two tellers go on break? Ventamatic is a Rodney Dangerfield bit titled, "Did I ever tell ya I don't get any respect..."

Don't be afraid to ask the small questions that maybe a wider following can more readily relate. If you want a wider following.

From a purely marketing/communication perspective IMO, "ventamatic' is the strongest part of your website. Holy jumpin' it just screams, tell me about it. It's an invitation!!! It's a welcome mat! Frankly, it's brilliant.

I would suggest you focus on ventamatic as an invitation and your execution can be anything from the agonizingly confounding such as looking inward at a sunflower and/or coping with a frustratingly bad hair day.

That's my 2 cents. Hope you find some value and use there.

Gravatars are just a visual image that accompanies your comment. A way to personalize them. Gravatars are not linked to blogs, but if the person has defined a gravatar profile, and the blog has the "hovercard" enabled, then you can see that profile. In general, the person's username will link to their blog, but again this depends on whether they have chosen to set things up that way. Following are some useful links.

how many columns can a person add to their page ?.
what the whole point of using a gravatar ?, i click on some eles gravatar and it does not take me to their blog.
i love reading other people's blogs, i'm so new, but i'm figuring it out.

any fun pointers ?.

Was really hoping to avoid the "feels like work" thing.

Thank you both.

From a page layout/graphics design perspective paragraph breaks are handled one of two ways. Either the first line of text is indented with no extra spacing between paragraphs or you give extra space between paragraphs. This lets the reader know where paragraphs start and stop and gives them a place to pause.

Having no space between has its places such as with lists and such, but for general writing, you always want some indication where paragraphs start and end.
