Tips and tricks on how to comment effectively
Commenting isn't just writing something, anything, at the bottom of a post. This can be far more successful if you know what to do and can do it well. It works better with a proper purpose, better technique and a full understanding of what you are doing. This makes the process of commenting more worth while for both you and the author of the post you are commenting on.
How to comment effectively is drilled down into three elements:
Writing
Commenting is writing on a reduced scale. You could think of commenting as a review of the post, but in a précis format to fit in the space provided.
Readers
Readers play a vital role because without them you won't get replies or be able to continue the conversation, and your efforts will have been wasted.
Technical
It is always important to understand how things work in the background if you want commenting to be successful and to fulfil your desired purpose.
