Quality Blog Comments




1. Compliment the writer in a more detailed way. When writing a comment, always write in a specific way, why you liked it and what needs to be changed. Writing specific comments to the blogger, it helps them improve their blogs more.
2.Add new information. When posting a blog always add factual information, like for an example the Eiffel tower. how old is it or how tall is it. also always make sure you read the comment section to make sure no one had written what you want to say.
3. Make connections with the reader, connections remind people of things that you did whether what you did in the holidays or what you did overseas. The blogger might add a specific thing they did in the holidays like eating marshmallows then probably a reader might want to share some facts about the bloggers holiday.
4. Always end with a relevant question to get a conversation to keep it going. For an example you ask what kind of trees there are and what they're called, hopefully the blogger might respond to it. it's always good to get a little conversation going at the end.
5. Always edit and proofread your comments, At the beginning of your sentences use Capital letters and at the end use punctuation, always use one exclamation mark and if you might want to show some excitement use more words not exclamation marks. If you use the pronoun 'I' always capitalize it. That way your comment would be more outstanding and free from mistakes.
