 * I feel I ought to know the answer to this, but:
 * I would like to configure a GA goal to be triggered when someone posts a comment
   on my blog when using the Google Analytics for WordPress plugin.
 * I’m not very familiar with WordPress URLs and am not quite sure what pattern 
   to match.
 * Or maybe I should re-phrase that question, now that GA can use events as goals
   and ask instead: is there any way of adding ‘posted comment’ as an event, please?
