I think I solved the problem of the spellchecker,which included some mucking around.  It only works if you have “Use visual editor when writing” checked on your blog user profile.  If you have been using the visual editor (with editing buttons for bold, italic etc. above the box for writing) you should now see the ABC check icon in the comments.  Gramma, Maggie, Suzy and others, I made sure you have it checked, so the spellchecker now should work in both comments and main post page.  I’m not exactly sure how it works but I think if you click the little ABC icon it checks the spelling and underlines suspicious words.

 If you want to check your setting, go to site admin/Users/Your Profile.  On the upper left is the checkbox.  If you want me to do this for you I will, just let me know.

Also, it would also be great if people learned how to insert links into their posts.  Aunt Julie is among those who have learned this.  The key is using the visual editor, and then recognizing the link icon among the editing buttons.  It’s a chain link that’s shaped a little like a sideways number 8.  Once you type in what you want your link to say, like “funny article,” you then select those words and click on the link icon.  Then you paste in he address and hit ok.
