Commenting helps create a sense of community because it makes a blog more of a conversation that just posts. It helps readers to feel appreciated. As a blogger, it is nice to know that people are actually reading your blog! Comments make you feel good! What a better way to build community than positive interaction! It is also good to comment to get yourself noticed. How would anyone know your blog exists if you do not interact?
I thought an important rule in commenting is to invite others to comment. I know that I personally have not usually commented on blogs unless invited too. I'm not sure why this is! It just triggers a little "Oh! I would like to express my opinion!" I need to remember this in future blogging! I also think adding hyperlinks is a great aspect to blogging! It is a great way to interact and share your blog or others blogs to a community of bloggers!

The comments I made were simply encouraging and self expression. I like to tell people when I agree and tell them why. I took that approach when commenting because that is most natural to me. I also like to be encouraging because encouragement is a great thing! :) We all need it!
On a side note, I really enjoyed this activity! Nerdy pleasure! I think it was very insightful! Seriously.
