Comments

One of the most significant advantages of using a blog for projects of this kind is the ability of readers to leave comments on what is being presented. This way citizens and other stakeholders are able to participate in the project at a time and location that is convenient to them. Participation is no longer as dependent upon scheduling restrictions as it has been in the past.

While the blog provides information online and removes the necessity to travel to numerous meetings or seek out information about project developments one may have missed, it also allows people to participate after the fact, and at any time during the length of the project. This is achieved by providing a way for readers to leave written comments on each of the posts.

At the bottom of each post there is a COMMENT link. By clicking on this link, all the comments left on that post become visible, and a comment screen appears for a reader to leave their own comments as well.

Note that all comments are moderated, so it may take a short while before a submitted comment appears on the blog
