Thing #4

     Commenting on other's blogs can be important in showing community by just letting someone know that you are there for them.  I think it is important to let people know you care about them if they are feeling down or if someone is getting married to tell them congratulations.  In the reading of Your comments?, I agreed with the author and thought that it was nice that he or she added some links to other websites that you may checkout. I also thought the 10 techniques to get more comments on your blog was an interesting way to advise people on how to write blogs and promote interest of your blog. 
     I choose to comment on several people in my class and some from another class. The education candidates I choose are either people I know personally or commented on my blog.

Casey Estes made an excellent point about how Dr. Wall's blog has step by step instruction which made creating a blog and avatar super easy compared to how it would have been without her directions.

Jori Cox commented in Thing #2 how she had problems creating her blog and avatar, so of course I told her that I was sorry she had problems and I also told her that her site was super cute.

Dillon Biemesderfer went to high school with me and dated my sister in like middle school.  Dillon has already got to Thing #7 and decided to place a wedding picture of himself and Korina holding picture frames around their faces, which is super adorable if I say so myself, so I had to tell him about the picture's cuteness.

John Jordan commented in Thing #1 that he always has the end in mind first which is great because I differently do not, but he also said that he didn't have time to play because of his life and how busy it can be.  I had to point out that every time he plays with or looks at his children he has fun.  I'm so glad that we a caring father in our class to advise us.

Lauren Yurus sits next to me in class and I feel so bad for her because her computer always messes up.  However, she seems to be handling her twenty-three things well.  In her Thing #3 Lauren commented about how she can use a blog in the future by suggesting that students may make comments about the class or she could give hints on homework assignments.  Some of her ideas I actually had thought of for my Thing #3.

Melissa Clemen had an idea in her Thing #3 that she could create a blog that parents could use to ask questions and keep up with the activities that the class are and will be doing that week or month.  I thought this idea was neat because she is right and parents are always willing to and wanting to participate in their child's schooling.
