Quality comments welcome

This is a cross-post from the Writing Studio Wiki to remind you not only that you are more than welcome to post quality comments on one anothers' blogs, but also that you should respond in kind to comments on your blogs:

Post quality comments on neighbors’ ... essays.

• Simple remarks like, “I agree,” Me, too,” “Thank you,” or “Very interesting,” are not enough;
• Note points of interest and give reasons, for example:

“What you say about… is interesting because…;”

• Ask for or suggest additional information or examples; &
• Praise strengths of peers’ essays and posts.

Respond thoughtfully to comments on your blog.

• You may respond to neighbors’ comments one by one or to several at once;
• Explain any changes that you make (or plan to make) in your essay; &
• Express your feelings about your neighbors comments, questions and suggestions.
