On Community and Audience, continued
Posted by MsMichetti on 18 February 2009
Last week I wrote about how important it is to check out what is happening on other blogs in your community, and I suggested a few places for you to begin. I hope you had a chance to look around. I know at least one of you did (he was brave enough to share his very insightful reflection on his own blog).
This week I’d like to challenge you to start leaving comments on other people’s blogs — and not just those of your friends. Browse around, see what you can find that interests you. Are there people writing things about what you’re interested in? Do you read something and think, “Hey, I disagree,” or “Yeah, I agree and this is why”? If so, that means it’s time for you to join in the conversation. Leave a comment! And don’t forget to include YOUR blog’s URL in that comment form.
If you’re not sure what I’m talking about, look here for an example of what that comment form might look like:
So, your assignment this week: leave at least 3 comments on others’ blogs outside our UNIS community. If you like you may also leave comments on blogs within our community, too. And see what starts happening to your blog — is your audience growing?
