So...................I have set myself a new personal goal for my "Learning Contract" stating that I would study up on ways to become a better commenter. I am reading through the links that have been posted and doing a little research on my own. I also plan to force myself to make comments on blogs on a regular basis. So I apologize ahead of time if I get on anyone's nerves with my commenting. I am just trying to better myself! :) After all, how can I expect to get comments on my blog- because I love to get them, if I am not doing it too? Something to think about...............................................................
Thing #7- Outta My Comfort Zone
Posted in on by
As with most other people's blogs I have read, commenting is not my favorite thing to do so far. Depending on the type of blog, commenting is not always easy to do. I understand the importance of commenting and like to read the comments posted on my blog. I am just not always sure what to say or even how to say it. I don't mind leaving comments when my friends leave posts about their personal lives but I have a hard time leaving comments on blogs of people that I don't really know for fear that I might sound silly or be completely misunderstood.

Commenting can be hard for me too. I am like you and don't know what exactly to say. I like to be the unknown viewer. I like to read what other people say about the blog but don't want anyone to know that I was there.
It does seem kinda weird sometimes having a conversation with people you don't know. I read one of the blogs about people who only go out and read blogs but never comment are called "lurkers". I don't want to be called a "lurker" so I am going to have to get out of my comfort zone and start making comments. I hope it will get easier for us as we do it more. Let me know how it goes for you.
One of the principals who took this class in the spring was delighted to find that the author of the blog she commented on responded to her comment and even e-mailed her some information in response to their blog conversation. Leaving a comment or question can really get you connected to people you wouldn't otherwise come in contact with. It has made our world a lot smaller!
