Commenting on a Blog
Now that you have had practice writing your own blog entry, it is time to practice commenting on someone else's blog. Lynn Gaertner-Johnston writes a blog about business writing, and she has posted quite a few entries on what we have discussed as "audience centered communication". For this blog entry, please take a look at Gaertner-Johnson's entries entitled "Help Customers Think Positively" and "Personalizing a Mass Mailing- Yes You Can!" and construct a comment discussing, replying to, or arguing with one or more aspect of the article(s). You only have to respond to one article, but you might need to use both to generate enough content.
While constructing your comment, you might consider examples from the course or your own life that relate to the entries. Remember, you do not have to disagree with the author in order to comment. Rather you can reaffirm or expand on their points using your own words or experiences. You could also relate her entries to tips and/or terms you may have learned in class.
