Blogging is more than creating a Website to place important ideas, opinions, concerns, and information. There is a second part to blogging that is equally important. It is the comments.
Part I Blogs:
It is very exciting to create a blog with all of the widgets and images. Eventually the creator of the blog becomes very satisfied with the look and feel of their pages because of personal preferences and fondness. In fact, if you’re looking for a place to start a blog, then consider Blogger, Wordpress, or edublogs.
Part II Comments:
It is very important to read blogs written by others and post comments or write responses to what you have read. Let the author of the blog know how you feel about the topic that was written.
Sometimes you will read blogs that are of high interest to you or other times you want to read to gather more information about a topic. It doesn’t matter why you decide to read the blog. What matters is if you take the time to comment.
Many times I spend my mornings reading blog after blog never commenting. I wanted to change this so I have joined the 31 Day Comment Challenge. I will be forcing myself to take the time to comment to blogs I read.
Here a link to the Daily Activities on the 31 Day Comment Challenge.

Welcome to the Comment Challenge!
It seems that the first few times, when you need to “force” yourself to leave a comment are the hardest. There are all kinds of comments: the profound earth shattering ones, but also the short and kind acknowledgments of someone’s work to let them know “someone” is reading.
So blog on, read on and get in the habit of commenting
