Thing 4

Commenting is a great way to interact with bloggers from near and far.  People can share their agreements or disagreements with the given blog post.  This helps the commenters create, or show, their identity through ideas.  This then helps the readers understand who each person is.  This then leads to a sense of community within the comments section.

I really enjoyed the reading "Your Comments?"  It was a great way to explain the importance of commenting.  It makes sense that writers would want feedback since they put this out on the internet for everyone to see.  So, your comment is very much needed, and important.  Also, I enjoyed the 10 ways to get more comments.  It is a great list of ways to objectively get more comments and interest within your blog.  I will use this in the future!

The 5 blogs I chose from our group are:

http://mcneily23things.blogspot.com/

http://autumnapsu23.blogspot.com/

http://kaylakitchens.blogspot.com/

http://kanikaapsu23things.blogspot.com/


I chose all of the above blogs because they are the first 5 names before my name on the list.  The first 4 comments are about being excited to reach the "thing" that I commented on.  The last one is a comment about the avatar.

The extra 2 blogs:

http://coachingbetterbball.blogspot.com/

http://johncarrier.blogspot.com/

I chose both of these because I aspire to be a basketball coach in the near future.  These will be great assets for my coaching career.  My comments were just opinions of their plays and drills that they both posted.
