Blog Comments? (Blog Post #2)

Well I've been looking at a bunch of blogs and noticing that the comments people leave are sometimes more interesting or entertaining than the actual blog post. Most comments I've seen have been positive ones. Usually they show acknowledgement or support to the author. Once in a while I would come across negative comments but those people seem to not enjoy life. I think if you don't like what you're reading STOP READING IT. But that's just me. Some comments had nothing to do with the post and I just assumed those comments will be deleted soon. I also found that in some blogs readers that leave comments actually recognize each other and talk amongst themselves in the blog about the new topic of the day, week, month or even year.

So what's the purpose of comments? I guess as bloggers we kind of need a place for comments. It seems like comments are a way for readers to show appreciation/ interest to the author and his/her posts. It's an opportunity for them to interact. Readers can just read the blog and comment on it if they feel the need to respond to whatever the blog states. They can also add their own thoughts on the topic. The good thing about this comment button is that the author can usually choose what comments remain on the page.

So.... if you, yea YOU leave a comment that I don't like,....I can just delete your comment. Just click on that red box with the X on the corner of your screen and save me the trouble (or if your using a mac I think it's the red circle) ok? mahalo.

Anyway, I think comments are a great part of a blog and it shows us as authors that people actually appreciate your ideas sometimes.
