Thing 7: Comments from a lurker

I'm a lurker. Not in real life, of course, but on the web, I lurk. I do this even though I am constantly thinking of how I would like to respond to the various posts I read each day. Sometimes, I even start writing a response, only to delete it instead of submitting it. For some reason I am more nervous to share my opinion in writing that I would be to share it verbally. However, at the same time, I do believe that commenting is what make blogs dynamic and relevant.

It took me a while to find blog posts to comment on. I almost posted on one post, but I would have been the first commenter and that made me nervous for some reason. Eventually, the blog that I commented on for this assignment was a post on Weblogg-ed by Will Richardson entitled You've got problems, so solve them. I think I will challenged myself to continue commenting on at least a few of the blogs that I read. I think that will help me feel more of a sense of belonging with the edublog community.
