It’s been brought to my attention by another Pecan Park Eagle reader that they are having trouble posting a public comment on our columns, but getting all kinds of bizarre messages and reactions from WordPress that only serve to block leaving their written thoughts on-line in the space that follows each comment.
I have been unsuccessful in getting help from WordPress, so far, with this issue.
Now I’m asking all of you to use this technical problem post as a column in which as many of you as possible try to leave public comments below, just to see if the process works for you. You may write whatever you wish, of course, but a simple four-letter typing of “test” will do. – And please don’t hold back because a number of others seem to be getting through. If there’s a problem, I want to build a broad data bank that we can dump onto WordPress in a formal request for help.
Again, leave the “test” comment below in the “Leave a Reply” box, treating this post as though it were a normal column.
If you cannot get through to leave a comment, please e-mail me with the details of your problem accessing the comment section.
Thank you very much.
~ Bill McCurdy

I live in Louisiana and never had a problem, but the type of problem you are mentioning may be those folks don’t have a WordPress account, also with so many hacks out there if they do have an account just go into their accounts and try entering a new password. WordPress may even be blocking specific IP ranges for security reasons, if they were you wouldn’t know it. I have so many passwords over the years I have to keep a paper notebook to keep track. I enjoy your postings and read it all the time, hope this gets straightened out so everyone can enjoy it.

Thanks, Tom. That’s possible. I will make sure to pass on the information about the WordPress account factor to Tom Hunter. – Regards, Bill McCurdy

I cannot see what I am writing (until the word “writing) and then everything is OK until I get down to line 8, when my e-mail address and name pop up and completely obscure what else is written xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx below this line
