Expected time to complete: 30 minutes

To learn about blogging it is best to read and comment on blog posts created by others. Comments are part of the conversation. You may like what a blogger is sharing. You may have another perspective to offer on the topic. You may not agree with what the blogger has shared. Comments are part of the blog conversation. The blogger shares, you read, and if you have a comment to offer, you take time to share in a respectful manner. When you add a comment, you normally include your name, email address, and the URL of your own blog (if you have one.) Often what is included with the comment depends on the platform that you are using. Here is an example of comments using the WordPress blog platform.



If you want to add a comment to **any blog post**, look for the link that says "Comments." When you click on this link, an area will open up where you can type and then post your response. Some blogs permit comments to be published right away, while others will hold the comments for the bloggers approval.

There are many possible blogs to choose from. Find ONE blog that you would like to read for the next 30-days. Refer to //__|Blog Search Engines__//([] ) for ways you can locate a blog that may interest you. If you are looking for a "Catholic" blog, you will find the //Catholic Blog Directory// ([] ) helpful.
