Successful Bloggers

The power of blogs is in their connectedness – they are connected to a larger community of ideas. Participate in that community.

The following are some traits of successful bloggers:

Posts (or comments) are well written.

This includes not only good content and follows writing conventions including spelling, grammar and punctuation.

Posts (or comments) are responsive and respectful.

They respond to other people’s ideas – whether it is a post by a teacher, a comment by a student, or an idea elsewhere on the Internet. They respect the dignity of the person while discussing, even disagreeing, with the ideas.

Posts (or comments) include textual evidence (references) to support opinions. Add quotes or links to other works as evidence and support to your response/post/ideas.

Bloggers participate frequently, fully, and consistently as does a person in a conversation.

Always, successful bloggers respect others. It’s okay to disagree; it’s not okay to be disagreeable. Be respectful of others and their opinions, and be civil when you disagree. Be overly positive and friendly.
