A Guide to Weblog Commenting

Written by David Peralty in Blogging Tips One Comment

Browsing around the web, I noticed a post from Justin Shattuck on blog commenting. He sets up some simple rules and reccomendations that more people should follow when leaving comments.

  • Keep the topic
  • Repetitive, Rhetorical and Relentless
  • There is no comment quota
  • Make your message clear
  • Own your words
  • Nobody likes a know-it-all
  • Comments are not emails
  • Cite your sources
  • Some common-sense

Some great tips, with full details on each, check out Justin’s blog at JustinShattuck.com.

One thing I would like to add though is a plea for people to actually comment if they have found a post useful, interesting or the opposite. It is nice to get comments and/or criticism. Keeps us on our toes, and let’s us know where you, the readers would like the site to go.

    @David:

    I agree with your plea. Its difficult pumping out content for individuals to read, enjoy and ultimately learn from, when there is not much interaction between visitors and authors.

    Commenting guidelines are all over the web. I’m definitely not the first to write about it, its simply a thought spawned from a few previous discussions and trends I have noticed on my own personal website. We’ll see where it takes people in the future.
