__** Blogging Etiquette **__

When commenting on blogs and what others have written, it is important to show **RESPECT** for the author's work.

We can do this by ...

1. Being **positive** in the tone of our comments. 2. Being **specific.** Say exactly what you like or appreciate about the author's work / writing etc. 3. Being **constructive** in our comments. You can offer your feedback / suggestions to someone in helpful way. This is called constructive criticism. 4. Being **conscientious.** Ensure your proof read your comment carefully for spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors before you hit send.

There are also other models you can follow, I quite like this one below about how to write a quality comment ...
