Blog Commenting
Commenting on other blogs is a skill easily attained by following a few simple practices:
- Be nice to each other. Don’t be mean to other commenters, bloggers have feelings. We’re putting ourselves out there for the world to read our thoughts.
- Connect to the post. Have a point when you comment on someone’s blog. Don’t ramble.
- Read the whole post before you comment. Don’t just comment on the comments. This will help you write a thorough and thoughtful comment.
- Use sentences and short paragraphs. Write in an active voice. Always try to be grammatically correct.
Here are a few comment starters that can help raise questions and provide useful feedback for bloggers.
