There are two ways
that you can comment on the entries in this journal. Blow you will find
a listing of these two ways along with a guide which includes images
for those of you who may need a more visual explanation.
To leave a comment in this journal (or any of my other journals):
1. You can fill out the form, indicating your name, e-mail address, URL, and comment.
2. You can log in with your TypeKey account.
Please note that if you use a RSS reader (such as Live Journal) to read my entries you should not leave comments at Live Journal proper. Any comments left at Live Journal proper will not be read by me. Each entry from my journal that is picked up by any RSS reader (including Live Journal) contains a link which is the URL of that individual entry (for example, my first entry has a URL of http://www.mazikeen.com/blog/othershore/2008/01/should_auld_acquaintance_be_fo.html). You should click on this link to be brought to the individual entry and then leave a comment there. If this is not clear, please see below for a walk through with images.
Each entry contains the date, a title, my location when writing the entry, my mood while writing the entry, what I was listening to while writing the entry, a book I am currently reading, and all of this is followed by the content of the entry. At the end of the entry is a bar and this is followed by who wrote the entry (me), at what time the entry was posted, a link to the individual entry (called the Permalink), a link prompting you to leave comments (Click here to leave comments), a listing for Trackbacks made to the entry (TrackBacks), as well as the opportunity to announce the entry to Digg It, del.icio.us, or Technorati if you so desire.
To leave a comment you can click on either the Permalink or the Click here to leave comments option:
Once you have clicked on either of these links you will be taken to the individual page for the entry you wish to comment on:
You can tell that this is the individual entry due to three things. The first is that the URL will contain all or part of the entry's title and the second is that title showing up on your browser window should say "Other Shore : Journal of Mazi Sexton : Individual Entries":
Scrolling down will reveal the third way to determine that you are on an individual entry page as only one entry will be available:

If you

will not to come to the individual entry before you can comment. You
