Thing #7
Commenting...I know I should do it, but I don't! I am a self-professed lurker. I do love to read blogs and all the comments that follow, but I never really felt comfortable putting my own two cents in to the mix. After reading all the blogs about commenting, I realize how important it is to the author of the blog and to the comment conversation. I know I always feel acknowledged when I get comments and that feeling fuels me to add more posts. I need to think about that when I am reading other people's blogs. I want them to know I am paying attention and that I care. This will be something I have to conscoiusly work on but I will...I will start commenting! I am going to start with finding one positive thing about the blog and making that my comment. Maybe that will ease me into the commenting world:)

I too am a "lurker." I do not like to leave comments because I think other people can probably say it better than I can. I'm working on the comments but selectively. What if I say something STUPID or my comments really don't add to the discussion? All issues I'm working on with this class.
ReplyDeleteI think most of us are "lurkers," especially if we are new to the blogosphere. I honestly forget that I have the power to comment! We can all take baby steps towards being more empowered commenters (is that even a word?). :)
