Can I comment on an old article?
Yes! If you see a past subject or article that you would like to revive a conversation with simply make your comment.  A preview of your comments will appear in the sidebar’s “recent comments” so that new readers may also return to the old article and comment if they like.

What is “RSS”?
RSS stands for “Really Simple Syndication” and is a way of being notified automatically whenever a new article appears (“Site RSS”) or anyone posts comments to articles (“Comment RSS”), rather than having to check back to the site repeatedly.

What’s a “Permalink”?
“Permalink” stands for “permanent link.” Clicking on an article’s “Permalink” just takes you to the same full-page article as clicking on the article’s title does. Permalinks are used when you want to point out an article to someone else, by email for instance. Instead of pasting the URL of the site’s main page (http://www.beverlycoleman.com/blog/) into your email, you should go to the article’s full page, and then use the Permalink instead, so that you will direct people to the appropriate article, and not just the home page of the site. Since the main page automatically changes whenever a new article is posted, the article you’re trying to point out may not be visible on the main page at a later date. But if you use the Permalink, the article you are referencing will always appear, on its own.

Why are there always proverbs and sayings  with each blog?
Proverbs and sayings are usually drawn from a society’s many generations of observations and experience.  They often represent a kind of “folk research” translated into language that is easily understood and instructive to the people.  The use of proverbs and sayings on this site is a tribute to the common sense and wisdom of the collective society.
