"Commenting on a blog is an Art !"

Commenting on a blog is equally important as we write a blog.When we weigh a blog on a pan for commenting, we forget that we are being weighed in another pan at the same time.In the process, at times we miserably fail and actually stand exposed of our ignorance.Commenting infact is an art.Therefore, before embarking upon the art of commenting it is essential to know about the characteristics of commenting.

We generally think that commenting is just posting a passing remark or a place for thanking others who have visited our blogs or inviting others to comment upon our blog.Of course, the above said elements form part and parcel of commenting, but the crux of commenting lies elsewhere.Commenting is critically analysing the merits and demerits of a blog, appreciating the creamy side as well as dwelling upon the seamy side also.Above all,we should also post our additional informations if any while commenting, of course relevant to the content of the blog.Then only the purpose of commenting is fully served.

But one may ask, the relevant blog is not intelligible to me.How can I comment upon it ? But one may find atleast some elements of the blog understandable if not the whole.Therefore, nothing wrong in writing to the author to get your doubts cleared in a blog.Suppose you don't disagree with a point contained in a blog, nothing wrong in gently disagreeing with it while commenting.

But before proceeding to comment upon a blog that too which has a worldwide bloggers and writers like writingcampus.com, one may just keep a watch over the bloggers for some time,especially who are the top ten, who are posting a number of blogs frequently etc.Again,one should bear in mind the bloggers are experts in their own field and they have varied interests and talents for writing.After analysing others one should have a self-analysis, what is his merits and demerits, what is his strenghts and weaknesses etc.Therefore, have a clear idea and goal before embarking upon the art of commenting.

Some useful tips before embarking upon the art of commenting.The blogs posted by the experts are on various fields and topics.Therefore, choose the topics which you are conversant with and choose the blogs which are small in size.Post meaningful comments.Preview them, check for any spelling mistakes and finally submit.Again, while commenting, if you have any additional information or link do not forget to include it.Also beware of top ten bloggers because they are more experienced than you in posting blogs and commenting and be cautious while commenting upon them.Don't discriminate either on the basis of sex, creed, caste, or nationality while posting comments in the blogs.

Let your comments be meaningful and enrich the world of blogging and bloggers.All the best.
