I have a game I want to annotate and place on my home page.  I don't know how to do either and could use some help.  How do I add my notes and comments to a game and how do I link it to my home page when I'm done?

Thanks for any help!

Thanks PG! Is there any way to do this without chess software, like wth text editing - OR, even better - is there freeware for a slow laptop that would work?

I think this would be a nice edition from chess.com to allow members to add comments to their games.

Actually you can do it directly through the chess.com interface : click the 'chessboard' button at the left of the 'post your reply' box here, and just type in the moves and the comments in the relevant boxes

but it is easy to download free software from this site to help with this. I use chesscat - to get it simply click on resources, downloads, pgn utilities and you'll see it. Very easy to use.

Can someone give me a link to a chess program like that? I would like to annotate a few games as well... : )
