Thing #4

Commenting on blogs if you have a meaningful comment is always a good idea because it makes the blogger feel like somebody actually cares what he/she has to say. Another reason commenting is helpful is because if you comment on a blog about something that is important to you, changes are you are going to learn something useful or at least find some people who share a similar interest.

"You become part of the life of the blogger you are reading." I have experienced this before so this is definitely something I feel is worth mentioning. I bake like it is going out of style and in fact, I work at a bakery now. I followed the BrownEyedBakers blog religiously and I would wake up everyday excited to see what she was blogging about that day. When you read a blog regularly, you really do feel like a part of the blogger's life. It is a really neat feeling.

"If you have written about it, hyperlink to your post." I love this idea. Not only can you comment about the subject, but you can hyperlink to your own post and people can see your opinion on the topic and you also get more people looking at and hopefully following your blog.

The 7 blogs I have chosen to follow are:

1) Rhodes 23 Things
2) Abby Smith's '23 Things'
3) Carroll's Cavern
4) Stefanie Tate's 23 Things
5) T. Smith's 23 Things for Teachers
6) the teacher wife
7) My Little Cupcake POP Blog

This blog is partially a work in progress. I have yet to post a comment on all seven of these blogs.
