Thing # 4

Well, I've made my first comments on other people's blogs, and I think it went pretty smoothly. It definitely helps to kind of make a connection or network between all of our blogs. If I read a comment from someone else, it definitely makes me want to check out their blog too. Besides being a good way to create a "community", I also thought it was kind of cool to read about the commenting "etiquette". One thing I've noticed about online discussion boards, etc. is that sometimes people tend to be a little rude, or say things that they wouldn't say to a person's face. It's important to get your opinion out there, but to also do it in the right way. I only commented on five people's blogs so far, and they were: Shanna's, Laura's, Pam's, Christie's, and Kenneth's. I'm sure I'll continue to comment, but that's all I've done so far. I commented on stuff these people said mostly because I know who they are (from previous classes), or because they commented on my blog. I basically just read all of these people's blogs and commented on stuff I either related to, agreed with, or thought was a really interesting perspective that I hadn't thought of before.
