Guidelines for use (borrowed from http://mrsheckstettersblog.edublogs.org/rules-for-commenting/): Protect your privacy!
 * Use your first name and initial or number for ID.
 * Leave off contact information - no personal email, school name, home address or phone number!
 * DO NOT! discuss your daily routine, especially time or location

Consider the tone of comments:
 * Be polite, friendly and encouraging.
 * Have humor, avoid sarcasm.
 * If you disagree, be kind and helpful; constructive feedback improves your own and others work.

Think about the content:
 * Stay on topic and be clear - your comments are valuable and need to be understood by the recipient.
 * Don't be random or silly.
 * Be more formal - focus on practicing academic language for English Language Arts - but don't be stuffy or pompous.
 * Avoid text shortcuts (no u for you or l8r for later) practice complete sentences.
 * Add a question, or start a new thread!
 * If you blog or vlog or phlog add the link or address.

Think about the conventions:
 * Watch spelling; drafting in Firefox or Word helps.
 * Use capitals appropriately, no i for I or YELLING ALL THE TIME.
 * Punctuate properly. !!!!!!!! is like all caps and overkill. Period at the end of a sentence, appropriate commas, semicolon and colon use.
 * Remember you are putting your best self forward. Present your comments accordingly.
