Thing #4

Commenting seems to create a "sense of community" because it does allow people to communicate with each other. Communication is the backbone of society, so in order for a society to exist within a blog, comments are necessary. The more comments that a blog has, the better rating the blog will typically receive. This is key for those who use blogs as a means through which to communicate or grow a business. In order for posting to be effective and to keep the blog growing, it is important to link other blog sites to it as well. This type of linking increases traffic and improves the blog's rating.

I commented on Ridelto Gutierrez, Mick Welfare, David Rawls, Dusty Brady, and Eddie Barnes blogs from class. I also commented on Dave Ramsey's blog and the TEA blog.

I made comments on my fellow classmates blog that voiced my view and/or support for their view on particular items within their blogs. I especially liked Eddie's last post about his final thoughts. I am very much in line with him with regards to the practicality of some of the things we learned in this class.

As for my posts on Dave Ramsey's blog and the TEA blog, I had questions that I wanted to ask to each source. Personally, I would have found it much easier to simply send an e-mail versus posting on this blog. In addition, I would have gone in to more detail, but I did not feel like having too much detail posted on a public forum.
