Mike – I popped past your blog – put some more pressure on you to blog so look forward to your great posts in the future.

Kathryn – bugger! Can’t believe you beat me – was busy with chocolate challenge or this overachiever would have been there done that! Thanks for adding me to your list – have posted a comment on your blog.

Yep Ontario I have just spent the best part of the day circling the global checking out all the great blogs recommended during BlogDay. What a great way of finding new blogs.

Quintus – I agree writing well is hard! I am not sure I agree with your thoughts that people are less likely to comment on a blog post if it is well written. Personally I am more likely too – as the poorly written ones I tend to skip. Engaging readers takes time – and some people are better than others at engaging.

Check out Quintas post on commenting on posts and take the time to write a comment! http://www.cybermediacreations.com/2007/03/blogging-no-comment.html

Hi Sue,

As all of us who spend the majority of time writing know, writing well and clearly is VERY challenging. One of the most interesting things that I have ‘discovered’ about blogging is that people are less likely to comment on a blog post if it is well written i.e. polished. People are likely to be intimidated and see the writer as an expert. This is an interesting challenge for all us bloggers who want to engage the reader.

Check out my post on the topic or writing well and blog commenters:

I think you’ll find that mine at http://librariesinteract.info went out at 00:01 – thanks to the wonders of pre-writing and date stamping. You should smile though, yours is one of the five I featured.

Sue,

Thanks for visiting the Doc Blog. I got a little chuckle since your use of English is far and above that of my, now, former instructor.

Your point of confusing language with intelligence is well taken and I will give that credence. In this case the lecture was written, as UOP is a text-based modality.

I am glad you chose the Doc log to expose to the world and that you were engaged enough to cruise the posts. Welcome to my journey, and I look forward to more comments. Now I am off to visit your blog more.
