I have just been reading some of the blogs on the Web 2.0 for Sydney CEO Teachers course. They are terrific reading, relating what happens in classrooms, good and bad experiences, but overwhelmingly wanting to share good things and ideas. This is better than we had hoped for. I like to leave a comment to encourage new bloggers to keep going, there is nothing like an audience to give you a reason to blog. I am finding that there is a wide range of settings for making comments, the Blogger platform can be set to only allow people with a Google account to comment. This is frustrating. I have located a good blog discussing this and showing how it can be set to allow anonymous comments. I know that is a risk but you can add a disclaimer to your blog which says anyone can comment.

Thanks for linking to my post. Often times bloggers don’t understand what commenting on their blogs is like for their readers. Sometimes if I find something frustrating about the commenting process I will leave a polite message (along with my pithy comment on their post content
)saying something along the lines of “Did you know that your blog is set to only allow people with a Blogger account to comment? If you like to change this here’s how…” I find most people respond pretty positively to this.
Hi Diane.
I didn’t know about that issue with the blogs. The link you gave was very easy to follow. Thanks
