Does Everyone Know How To Comment On Blogs ?

by Mike Sigers on December 5, 2005

I’m involved in a post and comment session over at Successful Blog. The post started out with Liz telling us lesser mortals about a hypothetical situation. It involved a blogger with decent traffic, yet no comments were to be found.

Of course I simply solved the riddle and gave the only logical reasons for no comments to be happening.

Later, some other lesser mortals joined in with their thoughts. They weren’t as snarky and long lasting as mine, but they were okay.

It came down, much later in the session, to a world changing, light bulb moment. A thought that had never run thru my simple mind before. Yeah, hard for me to believe it either.

Here’s where the rubber gets spread on the road.

Some of my readers and readers on other blogs may not know that not only is it okay to comment on this blog, I’d just get all wiggly if you’d do it.

Really. I’m not kidding. We want you to join in and help the conversation continue.

I’m thinking of buying Camtasia just so’s I can make a screen capture video showing how to do it.

While I’m chewing on this revelation, feel free to join in on the conversation over at Successful Blog.

If you don’t know how to comment on a Word Press blog, like this one, email me and I’ll walk you thru it.

Gently. I promise not to be mean. Or snarky. Well, maybe a little snarky, but not much.

Mike — I, too, had a lightbulb moment with that conversation in the Successful blog post.

Speaking of screen captures, there’s a free tool, called Wink, by Debugmode, which produces simple demos. There’s no audio, but what the heck — it’s free.

For the heads up on the tool and more for the visit & comment.

Come back, again and again and again and…..

Hi Mike,
Just thought I’d check to see whether I know how to leave a reply comment to one of your posts.
By God, I think I’ve got it!

OMG ! Liz..is that you ?

Thanks for coming by and gracing my blog with your blogginess.

Nobody has asked for instructions….yet…so maybe that ain’t the problem here.

Hi Mike,
Yeah it’s me. I’m still practicing.
I think I’ve got this commenting thing down.
Dang. It takes thinking. Doesn’t it?

I hope not, I haven’t been doing any !
