In my roamings around the blogiverse, I would occassionally come across some creative sort who titled their comments "Shout Out Here," or "Give me some love," or "What do you think?" or something of the sort.
I thought, "Gee, that's interesting. I wonder how they did that?"
Well, after spending hours looking through my template, and several experimentations that didn't work, I finally found it. How could an average priesty boy in SW Montana who officiates high school football on the side be blogger creative?
You may remember several years ago when Allstate would run spots during college games where they would present a play and challenge the viewer to interpret the correct ruling. It was named, appropriately, "You Make the Call."
So, letting my creative side run rampant, I was determined to make that change to my site. So now you will see "You Make the Call" instead of "comments." You will also notice that I managed to refer to all of your comments as Official Comments in the comment section.
I'm very proud of myself.
And I still hate html.

A Few Words About Comments
Comments are always welcome here, but there are a few things you should know:
1) If you comment, leave a name. If you can't figure out how to log in or register or whatever the system is making you do (which, believe me, I fully understand how frustrating that can be) and you must comment anonymously . . . leave a name in the comment section. Purely anonymous comments will be deleted.
2) Comments I deem to be offensive, irrelevant, or generally trollish will be deleted. I'm mainly talking to the Akurians here. Don't make me get out my flag!
3) If you would like to receive e-mail notification of other comments so you can more easily follow a conversation (yeah, like I ever have those on this blog), you must register with Blogger. Sorry . . . I didn't have anything to do with that one.
Enjoy the game.

Testing 1-2-3.
Cool!
Look at you, Rev. Technogeek!
Very nice. (^_^)
Very cool.
So how'd you do it? I'm a big believer in not re-inventing wheels!

Safe! Out! Foul!
Oops, wrong sport.

First, you look for this:
ItemPage
BlogItemCommentsEnabled
div class="blogComments"
comments:
BlogItemComments
div class="blogComment"
That's where you can reword the comments in the comments section.
I obviously changed mine to Official Comments.
Then you look for this:
MainOrArchivePage
BlogItemCommentsEnabled
a href="$BlogItemPermalinkURL$"
($BlogItemCommentCount$) Comments
/a
/BlogItemCommentsEnabled
/MainOrArchivePage
After the $BlogItemCommentCount$ is where you make the change to whatever you want. Change Comments to You Make the Call, or Give me some luvin', or .... well, you've got an imagination.
PS ... I had to post this without any html tags because the comment screen wouldn't accept it.
Good Luck.
