doodz here are some helpful hints for when you post commetns on my blog

Steps

1. Think of something witty to say, but do it quickly. There is nothing worse than someone who takes goes on a blog and doesn't enter their comment for five minutes.
2. If the person is a close friend, it often helps to include some type of inside joke.
3. Assess how much space you should take up. Think about two inches by three inches if he or she is someone you know moderately well, and four to five inches if he or she is your absolute best friend.
4. At the end, enter your name, legibly. There is nothing worse than the owner of the blog not being able to figure out who wrote that super witty comment in his/her blog twenty years down the road. If it's legible, then he/she will remember how cool you were and who you were.


Tips

* Sometimes posting little pictures can be cool.
* If you are totally blanking on what to write, write, "Thank you, Hope you had a good year" and sign.
* Make sure to include your first and last name. Without it, the chances of someone recalling you twenty years down the line are less likely. Without your last name, they cannot even find your picture on GIS.
* If you want, you can develop a special signature or a personal sign-off. Becoming truly good at signing blogs takes practice, so you'll have to develop your techniques over time.


Warnings

* If you have a problem with a person, do not talk about it in the blog. Eventually other signers will read it, and it will make you look bad.
* Be careful what you write. Other people will be seeing the blog, so try not to talk badly about coworkers or other bloggers. You want to be remembered as somebody cool, not as a mean person.
* If you want to write "love always" or "xoxo" to your friends, that's great, but keep in mind that for some people it's not always taken the right way. Make sure you know who you're writing it to and think about it before you do it.
