Comments, Comments, Comments!

Everyone loves to voice their opinion. I know that if I read a blog about something that interests me, I would want to get involved in the topic of discussion. Comments are an important part of blogs and it's a great way to get the community involved, especially if you want them to continue reading your posts. For example, they are useful if people need answers to questions and if you want to sell a product. Comments can also start a discussion topic, and get more readers interested in your blog. They are a useful way for people to communicate on a subject that they are passionate about.

If people want to write effective blog comments, they need to ask opened ended questions, ask more details about the post, be-openminded and state their opinion while keeping others in mind. There's always someone who lashes out about the subject and rudely states their opinion, or is just being abnoxious. YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE THAT PERSON. That will offend the person who posted the blog, cause you to loose credibility, and it will also frusturate people. As you write a comment, just be conscious that they are written with good intentions and that you will not get your point across by being one of "them."
