**COMMENTING ETIQUETTE **


 * Acknowledge the author of the blog post.


 * Let the author know if you agree with him/her and why.


 * It is also ok to disagree with something, just let the author know why you feel that way.


 * One word comments are not very useful. Writing just “cool” or “nice” are not very helpful and don’t let the author of the blog post really know what you are thinking.


 * Always make sure you follow “netiquette”. Think if it is appropriate **BEFORE** you hit the submit button.


 * Always be polite . It does not matter if you agree or disagree with what you are reading in a blog. Don’t write anything you would be ashamed of saying to someone’s face. Don’t hurt somebody’s feelings.
