You may comment on any post in this weebly blog any time you like, but remember to follow the “GOOD” commenting guidelines below. 2.

When you do leave posts or comments on a blog, mention fictitious names only. 4. Remember not to give out any personal information on-line: if in doubt, leave it out! 5. Leave quality comments, don’t use the blog to chat. 6. Never leave your email address or any other personal details in a post or comment. 7. Please punctuate your comments properly. Where are the stops and pauses to help the reader? 8. Check your spelling – ask for help if you need it.

Have a look at our Kidblog site and see the comments already. Ask Bugs and MrCoolman how they feel. Try to find the time to write a comment to let others know what you think. When you write comments, keep these things in mind: 1. Be positive! Remember to tell the author the things you liked about the post. 2. If you have any criticism, then write it down, but be positive. Use comments like ‘even better if’ or try ‘three stars and a wish.’ 3. Just saying ‘’good work’ might make the author feel good, but even better would be saying why it’s good work. 4. Comments can be read by anyone from all over the world – teachers, parents, governors, politicians, even celebrities! Please use your best writing skills and try to be as accurate as possible with spellings – take pride in your comments! Use the THINK acronym when you are commenting to others!
