 * I’m interested in hacking my comments form a little bit, but I’m in need of some
   help.
 * Instead of the standard large textarea field in the comments, I would like to
   split it in two. To separate out people typing in “Strengths” and “Weaknesses”
   as if they were writing a review.
 * Is there a way to use PHP and/or Javascript to do this?
 * It would be awesome if it could also add the words “Strengths:” and “Weaknesses:”
   to each paragraph.

 * Basically, I’m wondering if I can have two textareas that get put together, then
   put into the comment textarea. (Maybe the comment textarea becomes a hidden field?)
 * Couldn’t you kinda do that with variables? Kinda like this?
 *     ```
       $comments == '<b>Strengths:</b> '. $textarea1 .'</p><p><b>Weaknesses:</b>'.$textarea2.'
       ```
