In the past couple weeks, I've gotten the oh-so-sweet emails notifying me of comments on my blog. This, of course, led me to think I'm a huge rockstar and totally nailing this whole blogging thing. Then I remembered the purpose of Thing #4: comment on 5 blogs from classmates and 2 from outside of class. Sweet. That made me feel a little less confident. However, I noticed that after I read through some blogs, I didn't just pick random blog posts to comment on, I commented on the ones that I thought were good blog posts or really hit home with me. Sooo, that made me feel better... like I might still be getting the hang of this.
Commenting, I believe, is very important in the blogging world! It A. Made me feel good about my blogging B. Can make you feel good about your blogging and C. Gets our names out there! After all, I did immediately go to the blogs of people that commented on mine. It's like a nice, friendly, little blogging love triangle/circle thing. There's so much blog love to go around. *awww*
Like I said, I chose to comment on blogs that interested me, blogs that hit home with me, or blogs that simply entertained me. I commented about how I agreed with comments or posts... this all helped me decide whether I would read that blog further in the future or not.
I chose to comment on Ava Jayne's blog: Ava's 23 things at 32, Kelli Shoemake's blog: kellishoemake3040, Maggie Jacksons blog: Things: 23 of Them., Misty Stehle's blog: 23 Stehle HOOTs, and Kelsi Clark's blog: 23 Clark Things...Words to live by :).
I also commented on Cooking Classy and Regurgitated Alpha Bits. I commented on these blogs because they were things that interested me and made me smile.
Over the duration of this assignment, I've really opened myself up to commenting on blogs. My comments might not always be important to the writer and they may just overlook them as "just another comment", but I now am able to view the importance of them as more than "just another comment". Wow, that was deep.
xoxo, k
