Thing 4; Leaving my mark

We grow up being told “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it at all”. I believe we need to be reminded of this simple fact when you are talking about the blogging world maybe it’s because we forget that it is an ACTUAL person sitting behind a computer just trying to share their thoughts on different subject matters.  We all have opinions; sometimes it is best to just keep ours to ourselves. I think this whole having the “world” read my thoughts has kept me away from the blogging world. I think a blog can be so personal and to put myself out there in that way seems a little intimidating.
Now I do realizes this post is meant to tell you why commenting is a good thing, and I consider comments on a blog to be a great thing, when done with a little common sense.  When a person does put themselves out there for the world in a form of a blog they want people to read what they are writing and to have people converse on their blogs can be a huge form of flattery. Comments can be beneficial to both the reader and the writer. Sometimes someone else’s point of view can take the “blinders” off.

People from my class.......

1) The first blog I chose to comment on was Asante Pugh post Thing # 2. This post was about her experience creating blog and avatar. Asante mentioned have some issues creating her blog because of the distraction of her children. Being a mother of 2 I completely understood how helpful kids could be.
2)I chose to comment on Holly Brown's post Thing #12. Holly mentions that she hadn't realized all the things that Google could do. I commented on this blog because I related to it, i too had never realized all the wonderful things Google could do.
3) Sarah LaBean's blog caught my eye because she was the first in our class to finish 23 things. I wanted to congratulate her on her accomplishment.


4) Coach Ski’s blog make you feel like you know him, that’s what leads me to read his post.  When I saw the picture he chose for thing 7, a simple smiley faces with words around in on post its, entitled Happiness…only when shared.  It’s a great way to look at life. We should all relish in each other good fortunes.


5) I sit next to Megan Antz in class to I thought I would check out her blog. I fell in love with the quote she chose for her blog so I let her know that I liked it


People from other classes......


6)  Kawana Atkins left a comment on one of my post and that lead me to prows her blog.  Just like this post talks about blogs bring a sense of a community. I enjoyed Kawana’s post thing # 5, it sounds like she has big plans when she gets into a classroom. 


7) I noticed that Jason Longon had just started his blog so I thought I would leave a comment of encouragement. In his thing #1 Plus he had mentioned that habit # 4 was the hardest  habit and that had seem to be a common theme so I wanted to let Jason know that he wasn't alone.
