Now we have a little bit more information about what a blog is. The next thing we are going to do is something that I believe is very important when you are beginning, and even if you are a veteran at blogging. We are going to comment on a blog.

When someone writes a blog, while it is THEIR opinion and ideas, they are writing for YOU. Let them know what you think-further the conversation. The magic of blogs is that they are a two way street. They allow for someone to post, the reader can comment and the author to then return a reply. I have many people I feel I can call friends whom I’ve never met, and it started as a comment I made on their blog or they made on my blog.

But be careful about your comment. Truly provide a constructive response. Here is a Comment Ethics website that goes over some things that will help you. Be courteous, and intelligent, there are some topics that we don’t agree with, but you want to be professional in everything you do online-remember it won’t be deleted!

So your assignment: to comment on two different blogs. By doing that, not only are you going to contribute to the conversation, but begin to forge a relationship online. These relationships can help you in this new media process too. Believe it or not, but most bloggers are actually friendly!

Till tomorrow, thanks for stickin’ with me!
