Hello everyone! 

Commenting is a SUPER important part of blogging. We’ve been learning about it in class so, I thought I’d share my knowledge with you all so you can be an awesome commenter as well.  

Why Is Commenting Important?

Commenting is important because it makes a  blog come alive! When you comment on someone’s blog post you give them an opportunity to grow from your feedback. Commenting can also start conversations and who knows maybe you’ll find out something about another person that you didn’t know before.

 

How do I Format a Well Structured Comment?

When structuring a well formatted comment try using the Oreo method – here’s a diagram on how to use it: 

 

• Start with a greeting (ex: Hi Student!)
• Write your comment starting with something you want to celebrate about the post (ex: I really liked how you talked about your love for sea animals and land animals I think it really gave the post some depth)
• Then write about something they could’ve done different or something you were confused about – remember to be kind, helpful and specific when giving a critique (ex: it would be great and I think it would help your post if you specified what kind of dog you have)
• The second-to-last step is celebrating one last thing – try round out your comment as well (ex: your post was really beautifully formatted. It made it really easy to read)
• Finally, sign off by writing your name and if you have a blog you can link that as well (ex: -Sydney (P.S check out my blog {link})

 

Casual Comment

If your just trying to comment on your friends post then you probably don’t want to be super professional. If that’s the case then a casual comment could be something like: Hey! This post was super cool I didn’t even know you liked that topic. That’s awesome! -Sydney.

Overall it’s just a quick comment to let your friend know that you read their post and enjoyed it.

 

Remember to check your spelling, grammar and phrasing before you post anything public (or to you teachers). When re-reading your comment make sure to remember that anyone can see this so don’t be YAPPY (don’t share Your Full Name, Address, Phone Number, Password or Your Plans and Birthday). If you’ve done all this then you should hopefully have an awesome comment.

 

Thanks for reading -Sydney🙃
