Could somebody please tell me how i can post a game in a comment or post (like, the interactive, live board where you can scroll through all of the moves), that'd be great!

Look up PGN online...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Game_Notation

http://www6.chessclub.com/help/PGN-spec

It's easy, almost the same way you'd write the moves down for yourself in algebraic notation, other than comments go inside the {...}, and the tag format at the beginning for listing the names etc. is in a special format with reserved words inside square brackets [...], checkmate is "#", etc. PGN still works even if you list your moves with one move per line instead of in a row. Then when you go to post your game, click on the little brown-and-white checkerboard to upload your PGN file, which is just a text file with a ".pgn" extension.
