/* GDA01.js provides the scrip for updating the General Discussion Area (GDA)

Two variables are involved

(1) ShopCommentsURL and (2) PriorCommentsURL

These are the URLs called by the GDA interface on the Shop's Home Page.

The updating process is manual/semi-automated ... but, as currently configured, a very simple process

	
	Updating Steps 
	(1) From your Dashboard, select "NEW POST"  for "The Shop's General Discussion Area"
	(2) Give the new post a title ... we have been using "General Discussion Area" as the title, regardless of the comment set, but will be now using  ... "Comments Set # (Sequential nuumber)" or  "Comments From (Specified Date) ..."   Any Title can be used.  It will appear at the top of the comments page.
	(3) The post needs no text, just a title, but anything can be placed there ... i.e. reference notes
	(4) Publish the post  so that Blogger gives it a Post ID.
	(5)  Go to EDIT POSTS and put the post in the editor ... copy the Post ID from the browser's URL address window/bar
	(6)  Add the Post ID to the  "ShopCommentsPostID" array below.
	(7) Set the "PriorCommentsURL" variable's postID  = to the existing "ShopCommentsURL postID" 
	(8) Set the "ShopCommentsURL"  variable's postID  = to the new postID"
	(9) Replace the  "ShopCommentsURL"  in YOB_WidgetJS01.js with the updated ShopCommentsURL.
	(10) Update the GrandOldGame Server  ... with the updated version of this file ... and YOB_WidgetJS01.js in Widgets/JsCss
