Making Comments

Today we will develop some guideline for leaving comments.  Your comments should provide thoughtful ideas that add to the Post in a constructive way.  What are some ways we can always make sure that we are able to leave good comments on our blogs?

Portable 35 Commenting Guidelines 2010-2011

  • Add comments to show that you read the post and add details that shares your knowledge of the topic.
  • Ask questions.  Open-ended questions are best.  They require the blogger to respond.  This makes it more like a conversation.
  • Use appropriate words/media.
  • Make sure that you use good punctuation, spelling and grammar.
  • Try and connect with the blog.
  • Stay away from slang or texting language.  Some people may not understand it.
  • Be polite.
  • It’s okay to give advice/suggestions.
