Commenting is like "talking" or dialogue. I believe that when one writes as they talk the message comes across easier and bit more entertaining. Students so many times are intimidated by writing that if they "talk" their writing then is sounds a) more natural and b) easier to read. It is important for your personality to shine through as you comment so others will find it personal and fun. I think that 2 things important in commenting is to ask open ended questions and share info about yourself. Open ended questions allow the respondent to "talk" and share his/her opinions and thoughts. AND who wants to communicate with a dummy! I like to know personal things about the person I am blogging with, and I like to share info about myself. I commented to Shan about this class because we were in another class together. It was just like sending a quick email to her. I just communicated about this class and if she liked it etc.
I am not sure I really chose specific "comments" however I hope that whatever I blog about is interesting and people find it purposeful. I chose 5 bloggers from the sidebar but where do I get the other two? AGAIN, not so good at this, still don't have an Avatar!
The seven blogs from our group are:
1. 23 thing by Miss Williams
2. 50 days
3. Kathleen's blog
4. Technocricket
5. Boog Phil
6. Wendy's Wanderings
7. Cricket's corner
I selected two of them because they were in a previous workshop with me and the others I selected based on their names. I actually have looked at more just because it is fun!!
I selected http://grapevinetomatogarden.blogspot.com/ blog. I found a blog in Grapevine, Texas about gardening. I love to garden so this was interesting to check out. There are pictures, comments, things she is growing, things that have happened in her yard. Some of the pictures were really pretty.
The other blog I checked out is http://highndrygarden.blogspot.com/2008/07/flower-bed-i-never-water.html. Pictures of flowers, and stories about homes, stories about what her flower garden used to be like versus now. All types of gardening interest so this was a great blog to look at.

This information comes from the 23 things question #4. I think it will answer your question about where to get the other 2 blogs to comment on.
"In Things 10 and 11, you will learn how to find blogs of personal interest to you. If you already know how to do this, select two blogs of interest to you from the blogosphere at large and make at least one comment on each of these."
Hope this helps!
