One of my friends and I recently went on a vacation to France. We wanted to be able to share our travel experience with friends, relatives, and colleagues, so we maintained a blog while we were there. Several times a day we would post photos and narratives that showcased our adventures.
The trip was great and there were many highlights, but one of the most exciting parts of the day was returning back to our hotel, getting online, and reading comments on our blog from folks at home. I can’t tell you how disappointing it was to see the words, “No New Comments.”
How many of you read blogs? And how many of you take the time to add comments? Can’t think of anything constructive or creative to say? Don’t worry - even a note of “I enjoyed your post” or “Thanks for sharing” can be enough to encourage the author.
Too scared to add a comment? Don’t know how? Here’s your chance to practice. Just click the “Add a Comment” button below to get started.
And the next time you’re reading a blog post, think about how much it will mean to the author if you leave a comment. It doesn’t matter whether the blogger is 8 or 80, feedback is still fulfilling...
