Just add a comment at the bottom of any lesson.
Adding a Comment
Each lesson page has a comment section at the bottom. Simply type your question in the box and click Post Comment.
Adding an Image
Screenshots are a great way to show me exactly what you're talking about or to show me how you have things set up in your own project. (If you don't know how to take a screenshot, check out the “Capturing Screenshots” lesson.) To include a screenshot with your comment, click the Browse button and select an image file from your computer. File must be no larger than 128MB (if it is, you'll get a weird error that I have no control over). If your file is larger than 128MB, you'll need to resize it before attaching to your comment.
The image will display in the comment as a thumbnail.
TIP: Paint is good for adjusting file sizes. In File Explorer, right-click the image and choose Edit. The image opens in Paint (unless you have another photo tool assigned for that file type.) Select Resize. Use percentage or pixels to reduce the size. (For pixels, changing the longest side between 800-1200 pixels should do the trick.)
Viewing an Attachment
To view an image attached to a comment, click the image. The full-size image will appear in a new tab on your browser.
Subscribing to Comments
To be notified when anyone else comments on the lesson, select the “Notify me of followup comments via e-mail” checkbox before posting your comment. You can unsubscribe from future comments at any time, or subscribe without commenting by clicking the “subscribe” link.
Searching Comments
To search the existing comments for a topic, use Ctrl+F (works for most Windows browsers) to open a search bar the lesson page. Or you can scroll through the comments.
Hi Gwen,
How do I gift the Basic course to a writer friend?
What a nice thing to do! You can either sign them up and then give them the login credentials, or I can send you a PayPal invoice and then, once paid, I’d provide you with a coupon code that gives your friend 100% off the course price at checkout.
I will take the PayPal option please. Many thanks Gwen.
