How do I reply to a comment?

If you would like to reply to a comment instead of a blog, click the link at the bottom of the comment reading 'reply'. This will open a new window with just the comment you wish to reply to in the window. Type your reply into the text box provided, and submit. This process will indent the comment under the comment you are replying to. This is very useful for blogs in which there are many comments and many different conversations going on. Simply replying using the text box at the end of the page will add your comment to the bottom of the list of comments, and it is difficult to keep track of a conversation if replies are all mixed up together. Please note that the comment reply boxes will thin with each new reply. It may be best to put a "Skinny Box Alert'' (or other such notice) alerting users that the discussion is being moved to a fresh comment field to prevent the reply box from thinning to the point where the comments are no longer legible.
