"Why isn't my comment posted?"

That is a questions I get a lot.

Students will do the homework assignment, maybe even re-post a comment multiple times, and never see it published.

Before I get into why a comment isn't published let me remind students of the only appropriate way to sign a comment:

• In the "Choose an Identity" field select the "Name/URL" option
• Enter first name and last initial ONLY
• Leave the URL field empty
• An example of a properly signed comment is: JohnS or MikeT

It will look like this:

Once you "Publish Your Comment" if you have done it correctly you will see this at the top of the page:

Please allow 24 hours for me to see review the comment. There is no need to re-post a comment within those first 24 hours. 

Why isn't your comment published? Here are a few reasons...

• You used your full name, including first & last, in your post
• I will not publish any comments that include full first & last names
• You posted as "Anonymous"
• I can't publish a comment if I don't know who wrote it
• You were logged in as your parent or another Google Account
• I will not publish comments that have any name other than a student's first name & last initial
• You put something into the URL field, turning your name into a link
• I will not publish a comment with a linked name - leave the URL field empty

Remember, only use first name & last initial to get your comment published!

Please review the video tutorial here & feel free to post comments here with questions or send me an email.

Thanks!
