Blogging 101, Commenting Bootcamp, Day Five: Commenting on Comments

Blog posts are half of the two-way conversation between the writer and readers; comments are the other half. The liveliest comment sections are full of conversations and sub-conversations and sub-sub-conversations.

Today, find an interesting conversation and reply to other comments, rather than to the post.

Comment sections can be rich social experiences where new friends are forged, and fans found. Get involved! A conversational comment thread is more fun for everyone.

If you’re commenting on a blog where you’ve never spoken up before, leave a comment specifically for the blogger as well; if it’s a blog where you’re a regular, responding directly to other commenters is a-okay.

“My site has the whole thing – blogs, information, video interviews” William Shatner

Give it a High Five!

‘Twas an “interesting” five days
Sometimes that is all it takes
Getting out and about
Sometimes even giving a shout
Some say ’twas not within limits
But trying out new gimmics
Was the idea for this round
Not to put on a frown
Hope no one got to hurt
Or did their sleeves get burnt
For myself I can say
Thanks for this memory
See Y’all on the blogs
All my best and no sobs

Happy Holidays to one and all!
