How to comment?

Would you like to share your thoughts, opinions, questions or comments on our posts? There is a Comment section under each post you can use to interact with us, other readers and contributors.

HOW TO LEAVE A COMMENT:

To leave a comment you will need to fill in your name, email address, and optionally your website address.

NAME: you can use your real name, nickname, initials or any other name you would like to be indentified with. Just keep in mind that this is a family-friendly site and comments with inappropriate names will be deleted.

Would you like to add a picture (also known as avatar) next to your comment to identify you? You can easily activate this feature by setting up your avatar gravatar.com (Just click on the link). When you post here, your Gravatar image will automatically show up!

EMAIL ADDRESS: you can subscribe to responses to your comments or questions by entering your email address and checking the “Notify me of follow-up comments via e-mail ” checkbox under your comment. Please note that your email address will not be shown with your comment or shared with anyone.

WEBSITE: if you like, you can share your LEGO picture-gallery, website or blog by filling in this section. This is totally optional. If you fill in the box your name will be highlighted in blue, and other readers can click on it to visit your site.

HOW TO EDIT YOUR COMMENT:

Unfortunately WordPress does not have a feature to allow already posted comments to be edited by the commenter, so check your grammar and choose your words carefully! If you already posted a comment and you absolutely must change it, you can email us and we will take care of it for you.

HOW TO USE SMILEYS:

Would you like to spice-up your comment with smileys? Below is a list of smileys recognized by WordPress. Type in the appropriate code (listed below) and once you submit your comment – voila! – the code will turn into the corresponding smiley! Just make sure you leave a space between the smiley-code and the word in front of it, and/or behind it, so WordPress can recognize the code. (Click the image for larger view.)

SPAM-FILTERING:

Please note that we take spam very seriously and will delete them all! Also, occasionally a genuine comment will be caught by our spam-filter. The most likely reason is using a word that spammers often use, and by this triggering the spam-filter. Some of these are obvious “bad” words, others are more common ones.

If your posted comment gets caught by the spam-filter, you will see a notice above it stating that “Your comment is awaiting moderation”. Do not worry! Your message is not deleted, just being held temporarily. I check comments at least once a day and will make sure the real ones get approved and the baddies deleted.

I hope you enjoy reading our website, interacting with our posts, and communicating with our readers and contributors. And of course if you have any questions just let us know!
