When commenting on blogs, there are a few guidelines that must be followed in order to be sure that a comment is valid and appropriate. Here are the 5 most important guidelines and examples of different comments that either obey or disobey those guidelines:
1. Don’t give away any personal info
- Full Name
- Address
- Telephone no.
2. Don’t be rude or offensive
- Don’t use inappropriate words or photos
- Don’t insult others
- If you disagree with something that has been written in a post, don’t express your disagreement in an impolite manner
3. Don’t be useless and/or unhelpful
- Don’t go off topic
- Don’t go on and on and on
- Don’t just give the blogger all of the positives about the post or all of the negatives about the post – give them a little bit of both the positives and the negatives
4. Make a conversation
- Express your feelings and thoughts
- Ask questions
- Give the blogger the URL for your blog so that they can look at and comment on your posts
5. Edit and proof read your comment
- Check spelling
- Check grammar
- Check that the comment makes sense
These guidelines may seem extremely obvious but I have seen many comments almost exactly identical to the ones I have used as examples for disobeying the guidelines.
So make sure that every time you go to comment on somebody’s blog, you always check that your post follows these 5 simple guidelines before you press “Post Comment”.
Hi Georgie,
What a creative and engaging way to demonstrate what you mean with each step. Good job!
