How to write a Blog comment!

This is an article to help you know how to write a blog comment. It shows you how to get in and type, and it also tells you about all the punctuation and spelling things that you need to remember!

We like to encourage parents to write blog comments just like the kids do because it helps their confidence to put more posts onto the blog. Springston School loves to put posts and comments onto the blogs of other blogs too. We hope you read this article and use it to make comments on the Springston School blogs and other blogs around the world. So have fun blogging!

1. First you need to find a Springston blog. You can get to one by typing in the blog’s url if you know it, or you can go to our website and the names of the blogs are down the side.
2. Then you can look around our blogs and see our awesome posts.
3. Now, when you see a post that you want to comment on click in the corner where it says comments and a number of how many comments the post has had.
4. Then what will happen is you will get into a different page with a box that you can type your comment in.
5. After typing in your comment, remember to sign it with your first name. Click on comment and select profile and choose anonymous. Now click post comment.
6. Your comment will now go through to the teacher to approve it and then it will be posted on the blog for people to see.

Now we are going to give you a few tips for blog commenting so your comment has more chance of being posted on the blog because the teacher doesn't have to approve it.

1. Do not use your surname in any comments - first name only.
2. Make sure that your comments are positive and then (if you need), say something that could help them improve.
3. Check your spelling and punctuation is correct.
4. Talk about what they have done and recognize their effort.
5. Give ideas to support your opinion and suggestion.
6. Leave a question to encourage them to respond.

Now have fun commenting!
