Commenting on other people's blogs gives bloggers a sense of community and interaction because it shows evidence that someone is actually taking the time to read their stuff. I mean isnt the point of creating a blogg so that other people read it. That and if you get enough followers you can get money off of it, so follow me. But it is also important to comment because it can encourage the blogger themselves. I mean if no one leaves a comment it looks like no one cares, and if no one cares, then why would the blogger strive to give the people what they want.
Two points that I found interesting in the extra blogg reading was the blogg that said to right a meaning comments more that one word. I mean seriously, it's kinda of annoying when you leave a long thought out post and the only comment is "yeah" "good" or "cool". Thats like getting a card with Hallmark's message and a signature instead of an actually message from a person.
Another thing I read was a list of ways to get more comments. It had good tips like be polite. And who doesnt like reading comments.
I decided to read and comment on Ashton Kearns's blogg because we sit next to each other in class and she helps me with some of the task we due in class. I commented on a picture she posted because she posted a shark picture like me. I told her she was stealing my ideas, and she aggreed and said I was the best blogger ever. ( the last part wasn't true).
I decided to read and comment on Rebeca Black's blogg because we had Education Psycology together. I dont really know her but I remembered her name because it is the same as that girl who sings the Friday Song. I wrote on her wall that our experiences with using the internet for school has been very similiar. Hardly using it in high school and now using it all the time.
I decided to read and comment on Derek Carol's blogg because we play football together, and we help each other on our 23 things if we need help. I commented on his blog that he could comment on mine. I ask why his avatar looking sad.
I decided to read and comment on Anita Taylor's blogg because we had Education 1020 together, and we were partners for one of our class presentations. I commented on Anita's post about search engines. I told her that I used ask.com before I ever heard of google.
I decided to read and comment on Kim Messer's blogg because she has good bloggs and I frequently read her bloggs to know if I am on the write track with my 23 things. I thanked Kim for saying that she liked my blog and complemented her good blogging skills.
I decided to read and comment on Christina Ray's blogg because I read her bloggs and they were very good. I commented to Christina that I am a google addict also, because she said she uses it all the time.
I decided to read and comment on Rachel Jone's blogg because I needed one more blogg to comment on and her name was one of the first ones I saw to the right. So, congradulations. haha. I commented on Rachel's flicker picture. She had a picture of an event that I heard about from a friend.
I agree! If I feel like people are actually reading my blog, I'm more likely to write lots of posts. The thing I cannot stand more than anything is when I post something, and I get a comment of "agreed". Its like really? You could read it and not take the 10 seconds to type a full and complete sentence of I agree with your points.
ReplyDeleteHaha! Sorry I had to! I like that point, that leaving one word is a bit pointless! Especially when someone takes the time to think about what they have written! I think it would be difficult to not ignore someone who does that! How would you handle it? Do you thank them anyway or leave it?
