Commenting is a way to connect with and learn from other people**.** A good comment engages the blogger in a conversation and can lead to a great exchange of opinions and ideas. Receiving a thoughtful comment on your blog post can make your day. When you leave a comment on someone’s post, be sure that you make their day!

Guidelines for Commenting

 * When you comment, respond to the post. Stay on topic.
 * You don’t have to agree with the author’s opinion, but be respectful and polite. Explain **why** you disagree.
 * Mention something specific in the post that is done well or is interesting. Don’t just say “good post”.
 * Use correct spelling, punctuation, and grammar. Type your comment up in Word or Googledocs to spellcheck, if you need to.
 * Don’t use chat or texting language like lol, i, or u. No “Hi! Wazzup! Bye!” comments. Plan your comments in a thoughtful way.
 * Keep your privacy: no personal or identifying information about you, your family, or your friends. Don’t give out last names, school name, phone numbers, user names, or places and dates you can be found
